摘要:
The present invention relates to utilizing memory provided in a machine replaceable sub-assembly to be a medium of distribution for software code updates to that machine relating as to how that machine should operate. In one alternative, there is provided a method for operating a machine employing the steps of providing a replaceable sub-assembly separable from the machine, the replaceable sub-assembly further comprising a wireless interface and a memory in which is stored software code of executable instructions. The method further provides communicating via the wireless interface with the replaceable sub-assembly to store software code of executable instructions relating to the operation of the machine into the memory. The method then provides placing the replaceable sub-assembly into the machine, reading the memory, placing the stored software code of executable instructions into the machine as new machine software code, and then operating the machine in accordance with the new software code. In this way, the replaceable sub-assembly becomes the medium for the machine's software updates.

The present invention relates to utilizing memory provided in a machine replaceable sub-assembly to be one medium of distribution for software code updates to that machine relating as to how that machine should use that replaceable sub-assembly. In one embodiment, there is provided a replaceable sub-assembly for use in a machine at various setpoints including a memory and further including upgraded executable instruction suitable for directing the machine to use the replaceable sub-assembly with different setpoints, where the upgraded executable instruction is stored in the memory. In this way, the replaceable sub-assembly becomes the medium for it's own or another's software updates.

An improvement in the electronic imaging of documents, of the type wherein document sheets are transported at a uniform constant velocity past an electronic imaging member with the document sheet surface to be imaged maintained at a constant imaging distance from the electronic imaging member, wherein the document is fed through a document position and velocity holding and feeding nip formed between the outside wall of a rotatable transparent cylinder and an opposing nip forming member moving therewith, preferably an idler belt, and wherein the electronic imaging member is mounted inside the transparent cylinder to image this nip area through a narrow portion of the wall of the rotatable transparent cylinder and thereby to image scan only the narrow portion of the document which is being fed through and held in the nip.
摘要:
An imaging process which comprises (1) charging an imaging member in an imaging apparatus; (2) creating on the member a latent image comprising areas of high, intermediate, and low potential; (3) developing the low areas of potential with a first developer comprising carrier particles and a first negatively charged toner comprised of resin, the magenta pigment 2,9-dimethyl quinacridone, a charge additive, or a mixture of charge additives, and surface additives; (4) developing the high areas of potential with a second developer comprising carrier particles and a second black toner comprised of resin, pigment, and a charge enhancing additive that enables a positively charged toner; (5) transferring the resulting developed image to a substrate; and (6) fixing the image thereto.
