Abstract: A multiple carriage optical scanning system scans a stationary planar object onto a moving photoreceptive surface at a selected one of a plurality of magnification settings and locates the image at a fixed reference position on the photoreceptive surface regardless of the magnification selected. The scanning system includes a reciprocating lens and light source, the velocities thereof in the scanning direction being controlled by the magnification selected. The lens is supported on a lens carriage which locates the lens along its optical axis in accordance with the magnification selected. The lens carriage is supported for reciprocal motion in a scanning direction on a set of guide rails which are mounted on a second carriage which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction and to the optical axis. Combined carriage motion effects the positioning of the lens along three coordinate directions to provide the desired magnification and image placement. The lens carriage is thereafter driven by a rotating drive arm which contacts the lens carriage at a radial position on the drive arm which determines the lens velocity. A set of mirrors are employed along the optical path for conjoint movement with the lens for focusing. Velocity and initial position of the light source is controlled by drive cam selection. A common drive source controls the synchronized motions of the photoreceptive surface, the lens and the light source. A second drive source controls the three dimensional positioning of the lens, positioning of the mirrors and drive cam selection.

Abstract: The present case concerns several systems for cleaning a photoconductor of residual toner at a cleaning station and recirculating the toner to a developer station in a copier machine. One embodiment contemplates a fairly continuous accumulation of residual toner in the cleaning unit and a periodic recirculation of the toner to the developer unit. Another embodiment makes use of a cleaning station for performing cleaning of toner from an imaging portion of a photoconductor drum member and concurrent conveyance of residual toner from the cleaning station back to the developer station by another portion of the photoconductor. In still another version, recirculation is performed by augers. In some cases, recirculation is initiated by counter means operative after a predetermined number of cycles.

Abstract: A self-biasing electrode system for the development of latent electrostatic images provides low background and good solid area image fill by positioning a conductive electrode adjacent to the image surface as the image is being developed by charged making particles. The electrostatic image induces a charge on the electrode whose magnitude is controlled by grounding the electrode through an electrical impedance, for example, either a resistor along or a resistor and capacitor arranged in parallel.
