摘要： Acoustic Transfer Assist (ATA) systems are used in media printing devices to help transfer toner to paper by use of ultrasonic vibrations. The transducer is driven at its resonant frequency, though somewhat dampened. To shorten the decay time of the transducer when its vibration is not desired, a compensating signal is used. A reverse drive voltage is used during transducer shut-off. The reverse drive causes the transducer to vibrate at its normal resonant frequency, but at a 180° phase shift, causing the transducer to stop vibrating significantly faster than without a reverse drive. An open phase-locked loop system drives the transducer from resonance to rest. When the transducer stops vibrating, current to the reverse drive loop is cut off.

摘要： A system and method for automatically rendering labeling service prints with print engine parameters. An auto-labeling application can be configured in association with a print engine controller for labeling the service prints with the print engine parameters via a built-in marker integrated with a fault multi-function device. A portable inline marker can also be separately attached to a baffle assembly of the fault device and connected to the print engine controller via a connector in order to receive the print engine parameters from the print engine controller. A setup routine configured with the auto-labeling application can be employed to customize the service print labels in a modular format and the parameters can be appended to each other based on the information required to troubleshoot the fault multi-function device. Such an approach effectively provides labeling of the service prints with enhanced service proficiency and customer satisfaction and reduces service time with respect to the fault multi-function device.

摘要： A transducer includes a vibratory energy producing element that generates vibratory energy and a waveguide member coupled to the vibratory energy producing element and transmitting the vibratory energy. The waveguide member has a longitudinal axis and is divided along the longitudinal axis into a plurality of waveguide segments. The transducer is tuned, i.e., brought into specification, by altering a mass of at least one of the waveguide segments relative to a mass of the other waveguide elements.

摘要： An imaging forming device and a constrained transfer assist blade (CTAB) that provides for faster printing speeds, with an improved image-to-edge border specification is disclosed. An upper blade layer constrains pressure blades towards a lifter assembly in order to prevent the lower lying pressure blades from delaminating and a wear layer is formed around outer edges of the blade. Faster response times and improved trail edge flip defects as well as printing closer to the sheet edges is enabled.

摘要： Embodiments herein include a transfer assist blade that is adapted to bias media toward a marking device. The transfer assist blade is somewhat flexible and has a media contact edge positioned adjacent the marking device. The shape of the media contact edge comprises a curved shape. More specifically, the transfer assist blade assembly comprises a base and a transfer assist blade operatively connected to (or made an integral part of) the base. The curved media contact edge of the transfer assist blade comprises a center portion and end portions distal to the center portion, and the center portion extends a different distance from the base than the end portions extend from the base. Thus, the shape of the media contact edge can comprise one of a convex shape, a concave shape, and an irregular shape.
