    摘要: A method for minimizing toner usage in minimum area coverage patches in a color printer including: reviewing a print job including job images; performing a pixel count for each color plane on a sheet level of the print job; converting the pixel count to a percent area coverage per color plane; in feed-forward mode comparing the area coverage per color plane to a reference value; activating or inactivating a color station depending on the comparison of the area coverage per color plane to the reference value; and printing a MAC patch of variable size with the color station if the area coverage per color plane is substantially less than a reference value.

    摘要: A developer control for enabling the use of developer and toner materials with widely varying At in high quality xerographic copying and printing. Pixel count data is combined with toner test patch reflectance data during a brief toner rundown to determine the rate of change of density per unit change in toner concentration. During toner rundown, dispensing of toner is suspended for a period of time for effecting toner concentration reduction by approximately 0.25%. The change in Toner Concentration (TC) is estimated using pixel counting. Additionally, toner test patches are created and the reflectance thereof is measured for determining the change in toner density. The estimated TC change and the change in toner density are processed using linear regression to find the average change in density sensor output for the estimated change in TC which is referred to as the rundown slope. The rundown slope is then compared to a target value. If it exceeds the target value by more than ? (a noise factor), the dispense setpoint is reduced by one unit. If the rundown slope is less than the target value by more than ?, the dispense point is increased by one unit. The noise factor, ? is attributable to errors in pixel count or reflectance sensor drift. According to the foregoing, the nominal control line and control band in TC-Tribo space is altered to produce a much wider usable At range.

(噪声因子),分配设定点减少一个单位。 如果破碎斜率小于目标值大于α,则分配点增加一个单位。 噪音因素? 可归因于像素计数或反射率传感器漂移的误差。 根据上述,TC-Tribo空间中的标称控制线和控制带被改变以产生更广泛的可用At范围。

    摘要: In an electrostatic and development control in a printing apparatus, unwanted variation in dot size and shape may be stabilized and the DMA variability under halftone control may be decreased, by use of a novel halftone discharge ratio (HTDRmidtone) along with the conventional actuators of development potential, cleaning potential, and exposure level. A three-input, three-output MIMO control system may be constructed to deliver superior regulation of halftone and solid area image quality with use of control algorithms that are based on the halftone discharge ratio and with use of as few as two developed halftone test patches.

    摘要: A method of compensating for toner cohesivity within a repository in a developer system by recording toner consumption rate and toner dispense rate over a given time within the developer system. A control responds to the toner consumption and dispense rates over the given time period to compute toner residence time in the repository and estimate a degree of toner cohesiveness. The control then projects an adjustment to the development voltage to suppress the effects of toner cohesivity.

    摘要: A printing system using a recharge, expose and development image on image process color system is disclosed in which there is an optional extra black development step. The printing system may be a single pass system where all of the colors are developed in a single pass or a multi-pass system where each color is developed in a separate pass. The additional black development step results in optimal color quality with black toner being developed in a first and/or last sequence. Having more than one black development station allows low gloss and high gloss black toner to be applied to the same image, enabling the very desirable combination of low gloss text and high gloss pictorials on the same page.
