Abstract: Embodiments use an apparatus comprising a media path that is adapted to transport media sheets within the printing apparatus. Fuser rolls are positioned along the media path, and the fuser rolls are adapted to fuse marking material on the media sheets as the media sheets pass the fuser rolls. A heating belt is positioned to pass a first location between the fuser rolls and to pass a second location separate from the fuser rolls. A heater is positioned in the second location, and the heater is adapted to heat the heating belt. In addition, an iso-thermalizing roller is in contact with the heating belt. In some embodiments, the elements can be positioned in any order. In other embodiments, the elements are positioned such that the heating belt passes the elements in the following order: the heater, the fuser rolls, and then the iso-thermalizing roller.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for forming images on a moving, charge retentive surface using a stream of radiant energy, modulated in imagewise fashion, wherein the intensity of the stream of radiant energy is controlled based on measured variations of the actual speed of the imaging surface from a set speed. In particular, a motion encoder, which is preferably the same motion encoder previously used to control the proper location of each line of information on the imaging surface is used to monitor the actual, instantaneous speed of the imaging surface to produce an actual speed signal. This actual speed signal is compared to a set speed signal to produce a speed variance signal which represents the difference between the actual imaging surface speed and the set speed. The variance speed signal is then used to control the intensity of the stream of radiant energy.

Abstract: In an imaging process, a toned image layer on an image receptor is simultaneously transferred and fused to a recording medium. A radiation curable material is incorporated in the toned image layer such that when the toned image layer is irradiated, the radiation curable material is cured. The resulting cured material has greater adhesion to the toner material and the recording medium than to the surface of the image receptor. The apparatus for performing the above process is also disclosed.

Abstract: A thermo-optic light modulation array is disclosed for use in an imaging system of an electrophotographic printer to produce electrostatic latent images. The array comprises a light transmitting medium arranged in contact with an array of pixel shaped heaters which are selectively energized in response to digitized data signals for pulse heating the portions of the medium in vicinity of the heaters. Temperature gradients in the medium produced by the energized heaters cause changes in the index of refraction of the medium, so that selected portions of a sheet of collimated light directed through the temperature gradients in the light transmitting medium are deflected or modulated. The modulated light may be blocked by a stop and the unmodulated light may be directed to the precharged photoconductive member of the printer to form the latent images or visa versa. Several modes of light modulation are disclosed. In one mode, the light is directed through the medium just above and closely adjacent the heaters in a grazing fashion. A second transmissive mode directs the light through both the medium and transparent heaters, while a third reflective mode directs the light through the medium into reflective surfaces on the heaters. The reflective mode of modulation may be either for the production of linear, one-dimensional lines of picture elements or for the production of full two-dimensional alpha-numeric information. The other modes produce latent images one line of picture elements or pixels at a time.

Abstract: An ink jet printhead for use in a thermal ink jet printer having bubble-generating heating elements formed symmetrically around the entrances to passageways in the ink-holding printhead chamber that terminate as nozzles. The heating elements are individually addressable with current pulses to form vapor bubbles, which, during collapse, produce an impact force that expels and propels droplets toward a recording medium. An alternate embodiment includes an ultrasonic generator in the printhead chamber to produce pressure waves in the ink contained in the chamber. The current pulse applied to the heating element is synchronized with the lower pressure wave to obtain bubble growth with substantially lower temperatures resulting in a more energy efficient printhead.
