    摘要: As apparatus for producing items in selected configurations and a system and method for controlling the same. The apparatus includes a laser printer and folding sealing apparatus controlled by a data processor. The folder sealer apparatus combines sheets printed by the laser printer with pre-printed sheets and envelope forms, which also may be printed by the laser printer. The apparatus folds the sheets as necessary and folds and seals the envelope form about the folded sheets to produce a mail piece. A user inputs a configuration for the mail piece which is translated by the data processor and transmitted to the controller of the folder sealer apparatus. The controller controls the laser printer and the folder sealer to produce the mail piece in the defined configuration. Concurrently the data processor transmits text from an output file to the laser printer for printing on printed sheets and envelope forms. The data processor also controls the laser printer to print an address for the mail piece. Thus the apparatus is controlled to process an output file into a mail run. A sheet feeder for feeding sheets and envelope forms to the apparatus is also disclosed. The sheet feeder includes a take-up mechanism and a separating mechanism for singulating sheets. The separating mechanism includes a pair of crown rollers positioned above and between a pair of fixed, quarter-round retarding elements which extend in the feed direction. A top sheet is corrugated sufficiently that drag forces between it and a next sheet are reduced. A plate is positioned downstream from the separating mechanism to decorrugating the top sheet.

    摘要: An apparatus for producing items in selected configurations and a system and method for controlling the same. More particularly, an apparatus for producing mail pieces and a system and method for controlling it to produce mail pieces in a variety of configurations are disclosed. The apparatus includes a laser printer and folding sealing apparatus controlled by a data processor. The folder sealer apparatus combines sheets printed by the laser printer with pre-printed sheets and envelope forms, which also may be printed by the laser printer or may be windowed envelopes, folds the sheets as necessary and folds and seals the envelope form about the folded sheets to produce a mail piece. A user inputs a configuration for the mail piece which is translated by the data processor into a data structure and transmitted to the controller of the folder sealer apparatus. The controller controls devices comprised in the laser printer and the folder sealer by executing state routines in accordance with the data structure to produce the mail piece in the defined configuration. Concurrently the data processor transmits text from an output file to the laser printer for printing on printed sheets and envelope forms. The data processor also controls the laser printer to print an address for the mail piece either on an envelope form or on a printed sheet in a position where it will be visible through the envelope. Thus the apparatus is controlled to process an output file stored in the data processor into a mail run having a selected configuration. A mechanism and method for laterally aligning an accumulation of sheets is also disclosed, together with a cantilevered urge roller for the aligning mechanism.

    摘要: A combined copy machine and fax signal production device wherein the scanning system of the copy machine is employed to direct stray light from a document being scanned to a second lens, without displacing the copy lens. The second lens images the document on a linear photoreceptor array, such as a CCD. A control system produces fax signals from the output of the linear array, and may also control the scanning speed of the apparatus to be optimum for the generation of fax signals.

    摘要: A carrier bead pickoff device for removal of carrier beads adhering to a charge retentive surface in an electrophotographic device having at least one developer housing movable into and out of developing position includes a magnet supported on the movable developer housing of the type which is movable into and out of developing position with respect to the photoreceptor. When the developer housing is moved into developing position, the magnet is correspondingly brought into a position closely adjacent to a non-magnetic carrier bead catch supported closely adjacent to the charge retentive surface. Beads are collected at the bead catch and released upon removal of the magnet from proximity to the bead catch. The non-magnetic bead catch may be supported for movement into a bead catching position when the developer housing is brought into developing position, and to a bead releasing position when the developer is removed from developing position and the magnet is removed from its position adjacent the bead catch. When the bead catch is in bead catching position, the magnet is supported so that removed beads are collected at the bead catch by the magnetic force. When the magnet is removed from that position, there is no longer a magnetic force attracting beads to the bead catch, and the movement of the bead catch to a bead release position allows collected beads to fall to a storage location.
