摘要:
In an ionographic device projecting a stream of ions towards a moving imaging surface, modulated in imagewise fashion, one or more control electrodes may be arranged adjacent to the path of the ion stream and between the source of the modulated ion stream and the imaging surface, biased with a voltage preventing previously deposited charge from perturbing the trajectory of subsequently projected ions to limit the amount of ion beam deflection caused by the presence of electrostatic charge patterns on the electroreceptor.
摘要:
An apparatus which develops an electrostatic latent image recorded on a photoconductive member with toner. Fluidized toner is transported from one end of the developer housing to the other end. An electrical bias is applied between the toner mover and the donor roller so as to attract toner to the donor roller. A rotating rod resiliently urged into contact with the donor roller charges and meters the toner on the donor roller. Electrically biased wires in the development zone between the photoconductive member and the donor roller detach toners from the donor roll so as to form a toner powder cloud in the development zone. Detached toner from the toner powder cloud develops the latent image.

A method for treating a substrate is disclosed in which a propellant stream is passed through a channel and directed toward a substrate. Substrate pre-marking or post-marking treatment material is controllably introduced into the propellant stream and imparted with sufficient kinetic energy thereby to be made incident upon a substrate. A multiplicity of channels for directing the propellant and treatment material allow for high throughput, high resolution in-situ treatment. Marking materials and treatment materials may be introduced into the channel and mixed therein prior to being made incident on the substrate, or mixed or superimposed on the substrate without registration. One example is a single-pass, full-color printer.

There is disclosed an apparatus for effecting the charging of insulating toner particles in a charging zone situated between a moving roller, and a toner transporting roller or belt with a coating thereover comprised of a mixture of fluoropolymers and conductive particulate particles, such as carbon black. The coating may be textured with silica particles. Useful polymers selected for the coating include fluorinated ethylene propylenepolytetrafluoro ethylene copolymers.

This invention is directed to improved developer compositions comprised of resin particles, pigment particles, and carrier particles, the improvement residing in the resin particles which are comprised of an uncrosslinked polymer incorporated into a polymer network highly crosslinked in the presence of the uncrosslinked polymer, the uncrosslinked polymer being of a different chemical composition than the crosslinked polymer, thereby resulting in the formation of a sponge-like structure; which developer compositions are useful in electrostatographic imaging systems, including those devices employing cold pressure fixing apparatus.
摘要:
Electrostatographic carrier coating compositions which provide porous carrier cores with coatings that are more uniform in thickness and complete in integrity are obtained by employing a thixotropic lacquer. The nature of the thixotropic lacquer is such that its viscosity is low under high shear rates, but high under low shear rates as found during the spreading and penetration of the lacquer on the carrier cores.
摘要:
A marking apparatus is disclosed in which a propellant stream is passed through a channel and directed toward a substrate. Marking material, such as ink, toner, etc., is controllably introduced into the propellant stream and imparted with sufficient kinetic energy thereby to be made incident upon a substrate. At sufficient velocity, and with appropriate marking material, the marking material may be kinetically fused to the substrate. A multiplicity of channels for directing the propellant and marking material allow for high throughput, high resolution marking. Multiple marking materials may be introduced into the channel and mixed therein prior to being made incident on the substrate, or mixed or superimposed on the substrate without registration. One example is a single-pass, full-color printer.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with an instant-on fuser having a cylindrical, relatively thin metal cylinder supporting a resistance heating foil or printed circuit secured on the inside surface of the cylinder by a high temperature adhesive. The interior of the cylindrical tube is filled with air. The heating foil or printed circuit is carried on a fiber glass substrate and the heating elements is connected to electrical leads extending through caps on the ends of the cylindrical support. The relatively low thickness, low mass fuser and high temperature materials permit a relatively fast instant-on fuser.

Disclosed is an improved, simple, economical process for generating documents, such as personal checks, suitable for magnetic image character recognition, which process comprises generating such documents with conventional xerographic methods in a high speed electronic laser printing device, and wherein there is selected as the developer composition a magnetic toner containing from about 20 percent by weight to about 70 percent by weight of magnetite particles, and from about 30 percent by weight to about 80 percent by weight of toner resin particles of styrene copolymers, such as a styrene butadiene copolymer, a styrene n-butylmethacrylate copolymer, or polyesters, and wherein the carrier particles are comprised of ferrite cores, coated with various polymeric resinous compositions. There can also be included in the developer composition various additives such as collodial silica particles, and charge enhancing additives, and further conductive carbon black or insulating carbon black particles can be incorporated into the carrier polymeric resinous coating.
