    摘要: Corona generating devices, and printing machines which use such devices, which include a shell, a plurality of corona wires within the shell, and a power source which outputs first and second alternating voltages which are out-of-phase with each other. The plurality of corona wires are interconnected so as to form two groups of wires. The wires in the first group are operatively connected to the first alternating voltage and the wires in the second group are operatively connected to the second alternating voltage. The corona wires are located within the shell such that wires of the first group are adjacent wires of the second group, and such that wires of the second group are adjacent wires of the first group. The corona generating device beneficially includes a metallic screen which acts as a grid and which controls the corona flow from the corona generating device.

    摘要: A bias transfer member including a peripheral surface having low surface energy is disclosed. The low surface energy provides improved cleanability for enhancing the electrostatographic process and increasing the life of the bias transfer member. A low surface energy layer is provided by plasma fluorination to chemically modify the makeup of the surface material or by coating to form a low surface energy layer on the bias transfer member.

    摘要: A device to cap a thermal ink jet printhead, without the need of moving the printhead or the paper transport is described. The capping device has a resilient gasket which contains magnetic material and is attached to the printhead by a relatively thin flexible boot or sleeve. A steel bar is disposed in sliding contact beneath a paper transport belt. The belt is adjacently spaced parallel to the printhead. The paper transport belt is flat and smooth and has a hole-free surface. During operation of the printer, an electromagnet disposed on the printhead is energized and attracts the magnetic gasket, resulting in the attraction of the gasket above the printhead nozzles to enable printing. When the printhead is not in operation, the electromagnet is de-energized, allowing the steel bar to attract the magnetic gasket and seal the gasket to the belt, capping the printhead. The capping device eliminates the need for movement of the printhead or moving the paper transport. Also, the capping device provides capping protection in case of a power failure.

    摘要: An ink jet printhead is disclosed which includes at least one nozzle-defining channel having non-wetting walls and a step structure therein. The step structure is arranged within the channel so that the inlet to the channel has a cross-section which is larger in area than a cross-section of the nozzle outlet. The non-wetting walls of the channel prevent ink from being driven towards the outlet nozzle by capillary action as would normally occur with wetting channel walls. By controlling a positive pressure applied to an ink supply, the meniscus of the ink within the channel can be controlled to be located adjacent the step structure of the channel and spaced away from the nozzle outlet. When an actuator, such as, for example, a resistive heating element, is actuated, a droplet of ink will be expelled from the outlet nozzle of the channel. However, since the natural location of the meniscus is spaced from the outlet nozzle, when ink surges forward to refill the channel, no additional ink will weep out of the outlet nozzle. The location of the ink meniscus spaced from the nozzle outlet also inhibits the drying of ink within the channel.

    摘要翻译: 公开了一种喷墨打印头,其包括至少一个具有非润湿壁的喷嘴限定通道和其中的台阶结构。 台阶结构布置在通道内,使得通道的入口具有面积大于喷嘴出口横截面的横截面。 通道的非润湿壁防止墨水通过毛细作用被驱动朝向出口喷嘴,如通常在润湿通道壁上发生的那样。 通过控制施加到墨水供应的正压力,可以控制通道内的墨水弯月面位于邻近通道的台阶结构并与喷嘴出口间隔开。 当致动器(例如电阻加热元件)被致动时,墨滴将从通道的出口喷嘴排出。 然而,由于弯液面的自然位置与出口喷嘴间隔开,当墨水向前涌动以重新填充通道时,没有额外的墨水将从出口喷嘴中流出。 与喷嘴出口间隔开的墨水弯液面的位置也抑制了通道内油墨的干燥。
