A paper conditioner (100) to control image dependent curl in a copier/printer includes a reservoir for storing a quantity of liquid, a pair of rolls (102,104;103,105) in contact with one another so as to define a nip (106;107), and a metering roll (108;109) associated with the reservoir and one of the pair of rolls. The metering roll forms a nip with one of the pair of rolls to direct a controlled flow of liquid from the reservoir to the nip area. Seals (140) located at opposed ends of the metering roll (109) and the roll (103) with which it forms a nip prevent the flow of excess liquid from the ends of the metering roll.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printer has neutralizing units (60,70,80) and a fixing unit (36,19) that are disposed in the transport path of a print medium (P). The neutralizing units (60,70,80) neutralize a toner image surface of the print medium (P) entering the fixing unit (36,19) and a non-printed surface of the print medium (P) exiting the fixing unit (36,19). The fixing unit (36,19) includes two rollers. A fixing roller (40,19a) incorporates a heat source that generates heat for fusing a toner image on the print medium. A pressure roller (50,19b) is in pressure engagement with the fixing roller (40,19a) . At least one of the fixing roller (40,19a) and pressure roller (50,19b) includes a resilient member (43,52) that covers a metal shaft (42,51) and an insulation layer (44,53) that covers the resilient member (43,52). The resilient member (43,52) may contain electrically conductive whiskers that extend radially in three dimensions. The whiskers (45,54) are dispersed such that a surface of the insulation layer (44,53) and a surface of the shaft (42,51) are electrically continuous.

摘要:
A paper conditioner (100) re-moisturizes paper immediately following fusing to restore paper temperature and moisture equilibrium and reduce curl. The paper conditioner (100) has plumbing that includes a pump, supply lines, overflow lines, metering blade lines and return lines. A soaker hose is used to uniformly distribute conditioner agent to a wick (125). The soaker hose has pin-holes that are evenly spaced adjacent the wick. The wick (125) is a high density material, such as, cotton that contacts and supplies the conditioner agent to metering rolls (108,109). These rolls (108,109) contact donor rolls (106,107), which contact moisturizing rolls (102,103) which contact the paper. Metering blades (115,116) are used to remove excess conditioning agent from the moisturizing rolls.
摘要:
A paper conditioner (100) to control image dependent curl which uses one or more counterrotating transfer rollers (102, 103) which are initially spaced from their respective back-up rollers (104, 105) in the intercopy gap, and which come together as the lead edge enters the nip area, and separates when the trail edge is about to pass. This permits the rollers to have a less demanding runout tolerance by bringing the rollers together when the sheet is in the nip, and then articulating the rollers apart in the intercopy gap.
摘要:
A sheet processing apparatus includes a first roller pair configured to nip a sheet at a nip portion and convey the sheet, and a second roller pair disposed on a downstream side of the first roller pair in a sheet conveyance direction and configured to nip the sheet at a nip portion and convey the sheet. When the sheet is nipped by the first and the second roller pairs, a bending stress occurs on the sheet.
摘要:
A device for automatically adjusting conditioner metering roll liquid film thickness. The device comprising a transfer roll (102,103) that mates with a back-up roll (104,105) to form a nip (106,107) through which a sheet passes for wetting a side of it. A metering roll (108,109) mates with the transfer roll (102,103) and has a portion thereof positioned in a liquid filled sump (110) for liquid to be added to an outside surface thereof. An optical sensor (140) is positioned to detect light reflected from the liquid on the outside surface of the metering roll (108,109) and gives off a signal that is received by a controller (90) that actuates a stepper motor (112,113) to move the metering roll (108,109) in a predetermined direction until the correct liquid thickness is obtained on the surface of the metering roll (108,109).
摘要:
A system which controls via controller (100) image dependent curl by moisturizing a sheet immediately after fusing by rollers (62,64) determines critical machine and environmental characteristics through a series of on-line sensors. An operator selectable table is used to indicate the type of sheet loaded in each sheet holding tray. Machine software then uses this information to determine how much moisture should be added to each side of the sheet in order to achieve a flat sheet when it reaches equilibrium. The moisture is added by transfer rolls (102,103) which are driven at a variable speed by servo motors (115) in the opposite direction to sheet movement to vary the quantity of moisture that is added to each side of the sheet.
