    摘要: In order to shorten cycle up convergence, a stored or resident image is utilized. It is contained on an external control or pixel board forming a part of the machine image output terminal (IOT). The resident image together with a raster output scanner (ROS) is used to form two charge, V.sub.CAD, two discharge, V.sub.DAD and two background, V.sub.Mod patches in every frame for a total of six patches. A pair of electrostatic voltmeters (ESV) are used to read all six patches and control decisions are made on the basis of the average of the two readings for each voltage level.Because of their physical locations relative to the ROS the readings of one ESV are used in forming the two charge area patches while the other ESV is used in forming the discharge area images. Both ESVs are employed for forming the two background patches.

    摘要: In a xerographic printer for tri-level highlight color imaging, two electrostatic voltmeters (ESVs) are used to interpolate the electrostatic potential at a particular location along the path of the photoreceptor belt. Anomalous ESV readings, such as would be caused by dirt interfering with the ESV itself as opposed to systemic changes in the whole apparatus, are detected by having the printer enter a "test mode" in which test patches having minimal charge are monitored by the ESVs. The low-charge test patches enable noise related directly to the ESVs to be isolated from other possible sources of noise. The noise which results from ESV malfunctioning is compensated for when the printer returns to operation.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to an imaging system, and more specifically, a method and apparatus for accurately predicting toner usage and hence toner dispensing requirements in an imaging system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a toner concentration control system for maintaining toner concentration in a developer structure, which is connected to a dispenser containing toner. The toner concentration control system includes a toner mass estimator providing a toner mass estimate of the toner mass in the developer structure to be applied to the photoreceptor; a feed forward dispense unit receiving the toner mass estimate and transmitting a feed forward dispense command based on the toner mass estimate; a toner concentration target adjusted for toner break-in in the developer structure; a feed back dispense unit receiving the adjusted toner concentration target and transmitting a feedback dispense command; and a total dispense unit receiving the feed forward dispense command and the feedback dispense command, and outputting total dispense command to the dispenser, which dispenses the toner to the developer structure in accordance with the total dispense command.
