摘要： This invention relates to a process for rapidly charging uncharged toner particles to a positive polarity, which comprises adding uncharged toner particles to a positively charged developer composition comprising carrier particles and toner particles, the charged and uncharged toner particles containing conductive particles or conductive patches on their surface, which conductive patches are of a higher positive triboelectric charge than the toner polymer, contacting the charged toner particles with the uncharged toner particles causing positive charges to be transferred from the conductive particles on the charged toner particles, to conductive particles on the uncharged toner particles, within a period of from about 5 seconds to about 2 minutes, thereby resulting in substantially the same level of positive charge intensity for both the original charged toner particles and the added toner particles, such charge intensity ranging from about 5 microcoulombs per gram to about 50 microcoulombs per gram.

摘要： An device for applying an electrical charge to a member to be charged such as a charge retentive surface in an electrostatographic printing apparatus, including a multi-contact point conductive charging device positioned in contact with the member to be charged. The charging device includes multiple electrically isolated conductive blades which are independently electrically biased at predetermined voltage levels so as not to exceed a Paschen threshold voltage differential. Alternative embodiments are disclosed incorporating conductive blade members, as well as ionically conductive liquid carrying donor members. In operation, the charging device of the present invention permits generation of a charge potential on the photoreceptor significantly greater than the Paschen threshold voltage, while avoiding air breakdown.

摘要： An apparatus for fusing images to a sheet. A fuser device is provided using a transparent fusing roll having an internal heating device which focuses the energy to a narrow area of the roll adjacent the nip formed with a pressure roll. A transparent fuser roll is used in a pressure nip fusing system to take advantage of the quick response of a focused lamp system while at the same time yielding the desirable image quality attributes of the pressure nip in two roll fusing. The focused lamp is completely enclosed and the heated region of the paper is within the nip contact region so there exists no possibility of igniting the paper. A lateral temperature smoothing device, or leveling roll, is also provided to maintain a fairly uniform temperature axially across the fuser roll. This is particularly useful for a wide fuser roll, i.e., 17 inches, through which narrower paper, i.e., 11 or 14 inches, is passing to prevent the ends of the fuser roll which do not contact the paper from overheating. A quick start up from cold start is possible so that no standby power is required.

摘要翻译： 用于将图像融合到片材的装置。 使用具有内部加热装置的透明定影辊来提供定影装置，所述内部加热装置将能量聚焦到邻近形成有压力辊的辊隙的辊的窄区域。 在压力压合系统中使用透明的定影辊以利用聚焦灯系统的快速响应，同时在两辊定影中产生压力压区的期望图像质量属性。 聚焦灯完全封闭，纸张的加热区域在压区接触区域内，因此不存在点燃纸张的可能性。 还提供横向温度平滑装置或流平辊以在定影辊上轴向保持相当均匀的温度。 这对于较宽的定影辊（即17英寸）特别有用，较窄的纸张即11或14英寸通过该定影辊，以防止定影辊的不接触纸张的端部过热。 从冷启动快速启动是可能的，因此不需要待机电源。
