    摘要: An apparatus includes a developer and a moveable support that is moveable in response to actuation by an image forming device. The apparatus further includes a toner transfer modulator on the moveable support, the toner transfer modulator moveable with the moveable support between different positions to differently affect transfer of a toner to a photoreceptor or a transfer member, where the moveable support is to move the toner transfer modulator to a first position to disrupt the transfer of the toner to the photoreceptor or the transfer member during an image forming operation of the image forming device.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a developer and an actuator moveable in response to an input stimulus during an image forming operation of an image forming device. The apparatus includes a clutch that is actuatable, during the image forming operation, by the actuator between an engaged position in which the clutch is engaged with a photoreceptor and a disengaged position in which the clutch is disengaged from the photoreceptor. The clutch when in the engaged position transfers a force of a photoreceptor drive assembly to the photoreceptor for moving the photoreceptor, and the clutch when in the disengaged position isolates the photoreceptor drive assembly from the photoreceptor.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a developer and a photoreceptor, where the developer is to transfer a toner to the photoreceptor. The apparatus includes a housing that is moveable in an image forming device, and an actuator assembly engaged with the housing. The actuator assembly is actuatable between different states in response to control by the image forming device during an image forming operation of the image forming device, where a first state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a first position that disrupts a transfer of the toner to a transfer member of the image forming device during the image forming operation, and a second state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a second position that allows the transfer of the toner to the transfer member.
