    摘要: A piezoelectric crystal adjacent to a development member in an electrophotographic printer has an electrode on it facing the development member. An AC bias is applied across the crystal while a DC bias is applied between the electrode and the development member to measure toner-mass deposition rate. An AC bias is then applied between the electrode and the development member to measure developer flow rate. The toner concentration of the developer is determined using the measured toner mass-deposition rate and developer flow rate.

    摘要: Developer density in an electrophotographic system is measured. The developer includes toner particles and magnetic carrier particles. First and second mutually-insulated electrodes define a working volume between them through which developer passes without contacting the first electrode. An AC voltage or current source is connected to the electrodes. An inductor is connected in series with a voltage source, or an inductor is provided in parallel with a current source. The voltage or current is applied and corresponding current or voltage across the electrodes is measured. The density of the developer in the working volume is automatically determined using a processor responsive to the measured current or voltage and the applied bias.

    摘要: Developer density is measured in an electrophotographic system. First and second electrodes are disposed to define a working volume between them through which developer passes without contacting the first electrode, wherein the electrodes are electrically insulated from each other by the working volume. One terminal of an AC voltage (current) source having a selected frequency is connected to one of the electrodes. An inductor is connected in series (parallel) with the voltage source, so that the source provides the AC bias (current) across the electrodes through (across) the inductor. The AC is applied and the current (voltage) across the electrodes is measured. The density of the developer in the working volume is automatically determined using a processor responsive to the measured current (voltage) and the applied bias (current).

    摘要: Developer toner concentration in an electrophotographic system is measured. Two sensors, one before and one after the toning zone in the direction of rotation of the development member, each include respective electrodes that form a respective capacitance between the respective electrode and the development member. A voltage source selectively applies respective AC biases across the sensors and the respective currents across the sensors are measured. A controller causes an electrostatic latent image to be produced on the photoreceptor and causes the development member to rotate and the photoreceptor to move. While the development member is rotating, the processor receives the measured currents and computes toner concentration using the respective received currents and the pixel data. The developer flow rate can be adjusted, or toner added to the developer, in response to the determined toner concentration.

    摘要: Developer flow rate over a rotatable development member in an electrophotographic system is measured. An electrode and the development member define a capacitive working volume between them through which developer moves. A voltage source electrically connected to the electrode and the development member selectively applies an AC bias across the working volume, and a meter measures the currents across the working volume while the bias is applied. A controller causes the development member to stop supplying toner to the photoreceptor, and to rotate. While the development member is rotating, the controller records the current measured by the meter. Developer flow rate is computed using the measured current. The developer flow rate can be adjusted in response to the computed flow rate.

    摘要: A printer comprising a developer station for holding a supply of carrier particles, a rotating member which accumulates carrier particles during its rotation, a scavenger for removing the accumulated particles from the rotating member during the rotation. The scavenger includes a slot through which the carrier particles travel to return to the developer station and a movable flap covering an opening of the slot for accumulating the carrier particles at the flap until the flap is opened. A source of magnetic field urges the carrier particles through the slot. The carrier particles accumulate at the flap until reaching a volume sufficient to force open the movable flap and fall into the developer station.
