摘要： A system that extends the operational effectiveness of an image reproduction machine without requiring downtime for service by personnel includes a detection subsystem that monitors components of an image reproduction system for detecting a banding defect in the image reproduction system and an automated compensation subsystem for modifying operation of the image reproduction system to compensate for the detected banding defect so that the image reproduction system continues to generate images at an acceptable quality level. The automated compensation subsystem adjusts components and/or data used by image reproduction system to compensate for the identified banding defect without requiring immediate operator or service personnel intervention. This compensation may successfully attenuate the banding defect so that the image reproduction system continues to produce acceptable images without downtime while awaiting service by personnel. The system may also include a diagnostic subsystem for determining causes for a detected banding defect to further enhance the operation of the compensation system or to facilitate a repair action by a person.

摘要： Processes are presented for creating electronic banding compensation profiles for raster output scanner (ROS) devices by printing and scanning a test pattern having a series of strips extending along a process direction and spaced from one another along a cross process (fast scan) direction, analyzing the scanned data to determine facet-specific banding errors corresponding to individual strips, and selectively adjusting banding correction profiles to counteract the banding errors.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided for monitoring jets of an image device. The detection is implemented using a data processor that monitors information sent to a jet and using an image sensor that monitors an image being printed or an image after being printed. A detector detects the difference between the image being printed and/or the image after printing to the information sent to the jet, and identifies a faulty jet based on the difference detected.

摘要： Defects in an image forming system may give rise to scratched fiducials, missing fiducial regions, or other defects in an image that can run parallel to the process direction. The present disclosure provides for a fiducial compensation method and system for detecting defects thereby allowing spatial tone reproduction curves to be calculated and applied to a digital image in order to eliminate printed streaks due to a photoreceptor's non-uniformities.

摘要： Xerographic machines can print documents that have unintentional streaking parallel to the process direction. There are many possible source of the streaking. Currently, the streaking is minimized by using a cross process direction dependent modulation, called a profile, to modulate a modulated light beam being scanned across the photoreceptor. The profile is purely a function of cross process direction position. The profile can minimize, and often eliminate, streaking for any one area coverage, but only for that one area coverage. Different profiles can be produced that work best for different area coverages. Choosing a profile from a group of profiles for use with each scan line can minimize parallel streaking for a wider range of area coverages.

摘要： A method and system for monitoring a print drum maintenance system of an image producing machine is disclosed herein in various embodiments. A test pattern is printed on the print drum, and imaged with an image-on-drum detector to determine a printed pattern response. The print drum is then cleaned again imaged with the image-on-drum detector to determine a cleaned print drum response. A cleaning efficiency is computed by comparing the imaged test pattern response to the imaged cleaned print drum response and determining if a failure condition exists by comparing the computed cleaning efficiency to predetermined limits. A corrective process is performed if the failure condition does exist, the corrective process including changing parameters of the drum maintenance system according to the computed cleaning efficiency. The changed parameters are compared to predetermined thresholds and, if not exceeding the thresholds, the cleaning is repeated after the parameters are changed.
