摘要:
An imaging process which comprises the formation of an image on an imaging member, development of the image with a toner comprised of resin, pigment, and surface additives, and wherein the toner surface area coverage is from about 30 to about 80 percent; transferring the image developed to a substrate; and optionally fixing the image thereto.

An electrophotographic device includes a flexible belt-type charge retentive member, bearing a developed latent image and brings a sheet of paper or other transfer member into intimate contact with the charge retentive surface at a transfer station for electrostatic transfer of toner from the charge retentive surface to the sheet. At the transfer station, a resonator suitable for generating vibratory energy is arranged in line contact with the back side of the charge retentive, to uniformly apply vibratory energy to the charge retentive member surface at a position opposite the transfer coronode or peak transfer field, or slightly upstream therefrom. Toner is released from the electrostatic and mechanical forces adjering it to the charge retentive surface at the line contact position.
摘要:
An apparatus in which a plurality of liquid images are transferred from a photoconductive member to a copy sheet. The liquid images, which include a liquid carrier having toner particles dispersed therein, are attracted from the photoconductive member to an intermediate belt. Liquid carrier is moved from the intermediate belt and the toner particles are compacted thereon in image configuration. Thereafter, the toner particles are transferred from the intermediate belt to the copy sheet in image configuration.

Systems and methods apply active feedback via a repetitive controller to compensate for periodic disturbances applied by recording media to a movable image carrier having a controlled velocity. The compensation parameters of the repetitive controller, once the error signal of the feedback converges to zero, can be stored with one or more characteristics of the print job or the recording media used for the print job. When other print jobs are received having the same one or more characteristics, the stored, converged compensation parameters can be retrieved, reducing the time to convergence of the systems and methods.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for sensor calibration and signal processing to obtain transfer efficiency measurements in a reprographic device from a pair of reflective toner area coverage (mass) sensors, one located before transfer and the other located after. The same mass is passed under both sensors and the ratio of responses yields the necessary sensor characterization.
摘要:
A color printing machine with a hybrid development architecture is provided including a photoreceptor, a first and second set of development housings, a biased transfer belt, and a fuser. The first set of development housings are arranged in an image-on-image configuration in proximity to the photoreceptor. The biased transfer belt is in proximity to the photoreceptor at a transfer station. The second set of development housings are arranged in a tandem configuration in proximity to the biased transfer belt. The fuser is in proximity to the biased transfer belt.
摘要:
Electrodes are embedded in a biased transfer roller for the transfer of a xerographic image. The electrodes, which run the length of the roller, are deposited on an insulating core surrounding the shaft. A conformable semi-conductive layer of a flexible elastomer covers the embedded electrodes. The semi-conductive layer limits current flow between embedded electrodes, relaxes charge deposited on the roller surface, and maximizes the electric field that attracts the toner from the photoconductor to the image receiving surface (substrate or intermediate). The electroded biased transfer roller may tailor the electric fields within the nip, pre-nip, and post-nip regions between the photoreceptor and the image receiving surface of the xerographic device.

A color electrophotographic printer that prepares a composite toner image for transfer by exposing an image area containing the composite toner image to an erase lamp and then running the composite toner image by an AC scorotron.
