摘要： Systems and methods of controlling banding defects on a receiving member in an imaging or printing process using a feedback and/or feedforward control technique. In one exemplary embodiment, a method of controlling banding defects on a receiving member in an imaging or printing process includes (a) determining a toner density on the receiving member, (b) automatically determining the extent of banding on the receiving member by comparing the determined toner density to a reference toner density value, and (c) automatically adjusting the toner density based on a result obtained from the comparison of the measured toner density to the reference toner density value, automatically determining the extent of banding and automatically adjusting the toner density being performed using a feedback and/or feedforward control routine or application.

摘要： In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a cleaning apparatus in a printing apparatus of the type having a charge retentive surface upon which residual material is disposed. In one aspect of the disclosed embodiment, the cleaning apparatus includes a rotatable member adapted to contact the charge retentive surface for removing the residual material therefrom, and a motor for rotating the rotatable member. The cleaning apparatus further includes a motor controller for transmitting an electrical signal to the motor, and a machine controller for monitoring the electrical signal to measure the extent of wear to which the rotatable member has been subjected. In another aspect of the disclosed embodiment, the cleaning apparatus includes a conductive cleaning member, disposed proximate the charge retentive surface, for generating an electrostatic field to remove the residual material from the charge retentive surface. Additionally, there is provided a power supply for transmitting an electrical signal to the conductive cleaning member, and an electrical circuit for monitoring the electrical signal to measure the extent of wear to which the conductive cleaning member has been subjected.
