摘要： Systems and methods of a multiple dispensing system may include an image carrier, and may include a plurality of substantially aligned developing units positioned to develop image information on the image carrier. Each developing unit may include only one ink container and only one developer housing. The systems and method may also include a first dispensing system positioned upstream in a sheet feed direction of the plurality of substantially aligned developing units. The first dispensing system may include a first ink container and a first developer housing. The first developer housing may be configured to receive first imaging media from the first ink container and second imaging media from at least one other ink supply source.

摘要： A trickle collection system including a trickle port formed in a developer housing and communicating with the interior of the developer housing, and a trickle port housing communicating the trickle port with an external vacuum collection source. The trickle port may include an aperture having a variable cross-section, for controlling an amount of flow of trickle through the trickle port. The trickle collection system also may include an air infusion port communicating the interior of the trickle port housing with external air and providing infusion of an amount of external air into the trickle port housing sufficient to facilitate flow of trickle from the trickle port to the external vacuum collection system. An aperture of the air infusion port may be variable, such that the amount of air infusion may be varied in accordance with internal and/or external conditions. The trickle collection system further may include a toner emission manifold disposed below the developer housing, where the toner emission manifold includes a toner collection port that collects toner adjacent a developer transfer region of the developer housing, and where the trickle port housing communicates with the toner emission manifold at a location remote from the developer transfer region. The trickle collection system may include the vacuum collection system and/or the toner emission manifold. An electrophotographic system of the present disclosure includes a developer housing, a vacuum collection source, and a trickle collection system including a trickle port and a trickle port housing, where the trickle port communicates the interior of the developer housing with the trickle port housing, and the trickle port housing communicates the trickle port with the vacuum collection source.

摘要翻译： 一种涓流收集系统，包括形成在显影剂外壳中并与显影剂外壳的内部连通的涓流端口，以及将涓流端口与外部真空收集源连通的涓流端口。 涓流端口可以包括具有可变横截面的孔，用于控制通过涓流端口的涓流流量。 涓流收集系统还可以包括将滴流口壳体的内部与外部空气相通的空气输入口，并且将足量的涓流流从涓流端口流到外部真空 收集系统。 空气输入端口的孔可以是可变的，使得空气输注的量可以根据内部和/或外部条件而变化。 涓流收集系统还可以包括设置在显影剂壳体下方的调色剂排放歧管，其中调色剂排放歧管包括收集邻近显影剂外壳的显影剂转移区域的调色剂的调色剂收集端口，并且其中滴流口壳体与调色剂连通 在远离显影剂转印区域的位置排出歧管。 滴流收集系统可以包括真空收集系统和/或调色剂排放歧管。 本公开的电子照相系统包括显影剂外壳，真空收集源和包括涓流端口和涓流端口外壳的涓流收集系统，其中涓流端口将显影剂外壳的内部与涓流端口外壳连通，以及 涓流端口壳体将涓流端口与真空收集源连通。

摘要： An apparatus for loading one or more donor rolls of a developer unit, comprising a developer housing having a reservoir for a developer material, a rotatable first donor roll that delivers the toner onto a moving photoconductive member, a trim roll that receives developer material from the reservoir and delivers the developer material to a first magnetic brush roller that delivers toner to the first donor roll, and a rotatable second magnetic brush roll that receives the developer material from the first magnetic brush roll and delivers the toner to the first donor roll. The apparatus may further comprise a rotatable second donor roll that receives the toner from the second magnetic brush roll and delivers the toner onto the photoconductive member, and a rotatable third magnetic brush roll that receives the developer material from the second magnetic brush roll and delivers the toner to the second donor roll. The apparatus may further comprise a trim blade for trimming excess developer material from the trim roll.
