摘要:
A cleaning blade (100) has a fixed end (5) and a distal cleaning end (6), with the fixed end maintained in a substantially fixed position. The cleaning blade has a blade cleaning surface (17) arranged for facing a photosensitive element surface (82) of a moving photosensitive element (80), with the cleaning end arranged to contact and clean the photosensitive element surface. The cleaning blade has a blade temperature. The cleaning blade includes at least one heater (90) for maintaining the blade temperature at a fixed temperature.

摘要:
A novel wire module support structure for controlling the spacing and edge wire angle of an electrode wire (42) relative to a donor roll (40) in a scavengeless development process is disclosed. A stationary wire support (100) is arc shaped with a rounded edge and is located in close proximity to the donor roll end. This spatial relationship between the donor roll end and the wire support surface (102) optimizes the donor roll surface to wire relationship. The wire support surface (102) may be at a greater or lesser radius than the the donor roll surface. When the wire support surface is located at a larger radius than the donor roll surface, a clamp assembly (200) is used to control the height of the wires with respect to the donor roll surface.

摘要:
A toner maintenance system for an electrophotographic developer unit, including a sump (40) for storing a quantity of developer material comprised of carrier and toner material; a first member (41) for transporting a mixture of developer material and toner particles from the sump (40), the first member (41) having a voltage applied thereto; a metering blade (47), positioned closely adjacent to the first member (41) to maintain the compressed pile height of the developer material on first member (41) at a desired level; and a sensor device (R3) for measuring the current between the first member (41) and the metering blade (47), and generating a signal indicative thereof.
