Abstract: An electronic printing device is disclosed which uses flexible whiskers to transfer a charge corresponding to an image to a dielectric recording surface. The recording surface preferably has areas of differing conductivity so that microfields form on the dielectric surface. Ink, preferably non-charged, may then be attracted to the recording surface through dipole forces and later transferred to paper.

Abstract: An LED print head is for use in an LED printer. The LED print head has an LED circuit board on which a plurality of LED chips are mounted in line, and a lens assembly having rod lenses for focusing light emitted from the LED chips on a surface of a photosensitive drum in the LED printer. A first member or slider engages either the LED circuit board or the lens assembly and is adapted to displace stepwise to cause either the LED circuit board or the lens assembly to flex stepwise relative to the surface of the photosensitive drum. A second member or slider engages said first member to movably hold said first member. The LED circuit board or lens assembly is flexed so that a point on the photosensitive drum and the surface of the corresponding LED form a pair of conjugate points with respect to the corresponding rod lens.

Abstract: An electrophotographic subsystem (130) with on-board monitoring and adjusting capabilities. The subsystem contains a photoreceptor, at least one toner dispenser, a light sensor and a processor. The processor monitors either light received from a light-imaging subsystem which is in the system into which the EP subsystem is inserted, the wear on the photoreceptor, or the toner's composition and amount, or all of the above processes. The processor then sends information either via controllers or directly to various subcomponents as operating parameter settings or instructions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for depositing toner on substantially the entire surface of the photoconductor to minimize print defects associated with surface contamination. This is accomplished by printing a background pattern along with the desired image. A light film of toner is deposited on the background areas of the photoconductor while a more dense film of toner is deposited on the image areas. The invention may be implemented by merging a background pattern, such as a uniform level of gray, with the print image data or by varying the charging conditions at photoconductive drum. In one implementation of the invention, a background pattern such as a uniform level of gray is printed by scanning the pattern onto the photoconductor as part of the imaging light exposure process. In a second implementation of the invention, the background gray is printed by adjusting the charging potential applied to photoconductor and/or the various roller bias voltages.
