    摘要: A method and system for a color xerographic machine determines a lower bound for the ROS power levels so that color defects are not produced by light attenuation from one or more layers of toner particles on a latent image. The method computes a minimum ROS power level for the photoreceptor at its maximum and minimum charge levels. The minimum ROS power level is the level at which the discharge voltage does not drop beyond a maximum discharge voltage difference. The difference is related to a toner particle density that affects color reproduction. The minimum ROS power levels for the minimum and maximum photoreceptor charge levels are used to compute a functional relationship for minimum ROS power levels at other photoreceptor charge levels. Thereafter, the minimum ROS power level function may be used to compute minimum ROS power levels for other photoreceptor charge levels. The computed minimum ROS power levels may be used to control the power levels used during color reproduction performed by the machine.

    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: In a single pass tri-level imaging apparatus, a pair of Electrostatic Voltmeters (ESV) are utilized to monitor various control patch voltages to allow for feedback control of Infra-Red Densitometer (IRD) readings.The ESV readings are used to adjust the IRD readings of each toner patch. For the black toner patch, readings of an ESV positioned between two developer housing structures are used to monitor the patch voltage. If the voltage is above target (high development field) the IRD reading is increased by an amount proportional to the voltage error. For the color toner patch, readings using an ESV positioned upstream of the developer housing structures and the dark decay projection to the color housing are used to make a similar correction to the color toner patch IRD readings (but opposite in sign because, for color, a lower voltage results in a higher development field).

    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. The toner concentration control system maintains 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 by toner age, toner break-in and temperature 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.
