    摘要: An electrostatographic recording apparatus and method wherein a primary image forming member (PIFM) is moved along a closed path. The PIFM is sufficiently large to form a series of images thereon in the direction of movement of the PIFM during a production run. Plural series of toner images are formed on the PIFM during production runs. The toner images are transferred from the PIFM by engaging the PIFM with a transfer device. A cycle-down of the apparatus is provided to stop movement of the PIFM so that the PIFM is stopped to park the transfer device in a predetermined location on the PIFM preferably a seam area of the PIFM.

    摘要: Electrostatographic recording method and apparatus that includes a primary image-forming member (PIFM) which moves along a closed path at high-speed. The PIFM may be in the form of an endless belt, which has a row of image frame synchronizing indicia. The indicia are spaced from each other in the direction of movement of the PIFM. The indicia are not all uniformly spaced from one another so that an interframe area larger than other smaller interframe areas on the PIFM can exist. During a production run toner images are formed on the image frames by sensing the image frame synchronizing indicia. The larger interframe area is provided preferably at a splice or seam area to provide sufficient time for a change in a process element for which sufficient time is not available at a smaller interframe area. As an example, the process element may be a transfer roller which is switched in polarity at the larger interframe area to reduce toner contamination of the transfer roller due to presence of the seam or placement of toner at process control patches at such area. The endless belt may contain a single row of indicia that are used to synchronize two respective different series of image frame sizes.

    摘要: An electrophotographic (EP) image-forming device and related method are provided for on-line quantitative assessment of the image formation and development process. The EP image-forming device has a primary charger, an exposure device, a toning station, a transfer charger, a fusing station, and a cleaner operatively disposed about a photoconductor. A transmission densitometer is positioned adjacent to the photoconductor. The densitometer determines the successive tones corresponding to a plurality of step areas of a toner pattern for each image frame. The density readings are stored in memory. The photoconductor densities are subtracted from the combined densities to provide measured toner densities, which are then averaged for each step area. The average measured toner densities or voltage readings are compared to the aim toner densities or voltage readings for each step in the step tablet which are displayed in an output chart to quantitatively assess the image quality of the image-forming process. Preferably, every image frame on the photoconductor is assessed successively.

    摘要: The present invention provides an electrophotographic (EP) image-forming machine and related method having activation of a charger cleaner in a corona charger after an arcing fault. The corona charger has corona wires connected to a high voltage potential supply, preferably providing a voltage in the range of about 5 to 11 kva or in the range of about 13,000 to 22,000 volts peak-to-peak. A corona voltage detection circuit is connected to measure current changes in the high voltage potential supply. A grid has a preselected electric potential to control the charge. The grid may be grounded, but preferably is connected to a power supply providing a voltage in the range of about 300 to 900 volts. A grid voltage detection circuit is connected to measure current changes in the power supply. The voltage detection circuits provide a voltage signal to a microprocessor. When arcing occurs, the microprocessor cycles the EP image-forming machine into a standby mode. The charger cleaning apparatus is activated to clean the charger. When the cleaning is completed, the EP image-forming machine returns to normal operation. In a further aspect of the present invention, the image-forming process stops when arcing occurs. The charger is cleaned. Any prints affected by the arcing are disposed. The image-forming process restarts at the image frame where the arc occurred.

    摘要: A computer disk of the type having a central drive hub comprised at least in part of ferromagnetic metal to clamp the disk to a magnet spindle drive is provided with a ring-shaped amorphous ferromagnetic surveillance marker between the hub flange and the disk substrate. The hub metal has a high permeability, e.g. .gtoreq.2,000 to concentrate the drive magnet field in the hub, when the disk is in the disk drive, thereby to eliminate fringe fields that would magnetize the marker. This is to allow the use of a low magnetic field intensity sensor in the sensor to detect the presence of the marker to enable recording of data on the disk. The hub metal also has a coercivity between the coercivity of the marker and the intensity of the magnetic field employed in the interrogation zone of an area surveillance portal to eliminate the effect of any residual magnetism on the hub metal caused by the drive magnet thereby to enhance the detectability of the marker by the portal.

    摘要: A development system (10) for an electrophotographic printer (100) with multiple augers and containing a development roller (11) and a first channel (12) containing a feed auger (13) and developer (14), where the magnetic strength of the feed pole of the development roller increases in the direction of developer flow (18) in the first channel. This increase in magnetic field strength of the feed pole (50) ensures that a uniform layer of developer is formed on the development roller despite the volume of developer in the first channel decreasing along the length of the first channel in the direction of developer flow.
