    摘要: A xerographic system (8) includes a moving photoreceptor (10) and multiple toner development systems (12, 14) arranged to selectively dispose regions of toner on the moving photoreceptor. A toner density sensor (40) is arranged to measure toner density on the moving photoreceptor over a sensor area (A). A toner coverage monitor (64) operatively connected with the toner density sensor (40) monitors toner coverage based on measurements by the toner density sensor of toner coverage calibration regions disposed on the moving photoreceptor by the multiple toner development systems. A spatial registration monitor (66) also operatively connected with the toner density sensor (40) monitors spatial registration of the multiple toner development systems based on measurements by the toner density sensor of spatial registration calibration regions disposed on the moving photoreceptor by the multiple toner development systems.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to determine the use status of a customer replaceable unit (CRU) in an electrophotographic printing machine. The CRU has a customer replaceable unit monitor (CRUM) which communicates with the machine controller upon insertion of the CRU into the machine. Based on the signal generated by the CRUM the controller can determine whether the CRU has been previously used in the machine or is new. Appropriate settings and adjustments can be made based on predetermined parameters according to use. In addition, if a CRU is new a cycle can be initiated in which a toner patch is developed and not transferred so that a layer of toner is deposited on the cleaning blade. This minimizes damage to a photoreceptor belt due to lack of lubrication of the cleaner blade and chatter that may result therefrom.

    摘要: A method to provide a highly intelligent, automated diagnostic system that identifies the need to replace specific parts to minimize machine downtime rather than require extensive service troubleshooting. In particular, a systematic, logical test analysis scheme to assess machine operation from a simple sensor system and to be able to pinpoint parts and components needing replacement is provided by a series of first level of tests by the control to monitor components for receiving a first level of data and by a series of second level of tests by the control to monitor components for receiving a second level of data. Each of the first level tests and first level data is capable of identifying a first level of part failure independent of any other test. Each of the second level tests and second level data is a combination of first level tests and first level data or a combination of a first level test and first level data and a third level test and third level data. The second level tests and second level data are capable of identifying second and third levels of part failure. Codes are stored and displayed to manifest specific part failures.

    摘要: A densitometer which measures the reduction in the specular component of the reflectivity of a portion of a surface having a liquid deposited thereon. Collimated light rays, in the visible spectrum, are projected onto the portion of the surface having the liquid thereon. The light rays reflected from the portion of the surface having the liquid deposited thereon are collected and directed onto a photodiode array. The photodiode array generates electrical signals proportional to the total flux and the diffuse component of the total flux of the reflected light rays. Circuitry compares the electrical signals and determines the difference therebetween to generate an electrical signal proportional to the specular component of the total flux of the reflected light rays.

    摘要: A system for measuring the friction between the bottom two sheets of the stack. The bottom-most sheet is held to a vacuum corrugation feeder tray by any suitable means such as a vacuum and moves with the tray. The vacuum corrugation feeder tray is mounted on compliant supports and driven near or at its resonant frequency by an electromechanical driver. At low or zero air knife pressure, the paper stack is mechanically coupled to the tray and moves with the tray, possibly slipping at some point during the vibration cycle. As the air knife pressure increases, the mechanical coupling decreases, and a point is reached at which the stack remains stationary. Prior to the point where stack motion ceases, the resonance of the tray is modified and it is possible to estimate the weight of the stack. When the stack motion ceases, the frictional force F can be estimated from the driving force required to maintain a given vibrational amplitude. From the driving force required to maintain a given vibrational amplitude and the mass of the tray or stack, it is possible to calculate the coefficient of friction between the bottom two sheets. The coefficient of friction is then used to control the amount of air pressure from the air knife until an optimum coefficient of friction is achieved.
