A process for toner preparation includes forming toner particles by mixing an emuslion comprising at least binder resin and a colorant, aggregating the toner particles, and blending external additives with the toner particles in a blender to form a toner, wherein the blender has a blend intensity of from about 90.5 to about 100.5 W/lb, a specific blend energy of from about 20.3 to about 35.3 W-h/lb and a blender loading density of from about 0.25 to about 0.55 lb/L.

A developer control for enabling the use of developer and toner materials with widely varying At in high quality xerographic copying and printing. Pixel count data is combined with toner test patch reflectance data during a brief toner rundown to determine the rate of change of density per unit change in toner concentration. During toner rundown, dispensing of toner is suspended for a period of time for effecting toner concentration reduction by approximately 0.25%. The change in Toner Concentration (TC) is estimated using pixel counting. Additionally, toner test patches are created and the reflectance thereof is measured for determining the change in toner density. The estimated TC change and the change in toner density are processed using linear regression to find the average change in density sensor output for the estimated change in TC which is referred to as the rundown slope. The rundown slope is then compared to a target value. If it exceeds the target value by more than ? (a noise factor), the dispense setpoint is reduced by one unit. If the rundown slope is less than the target value by more than ?, the dispense point is increased by one unit. The noise factor, ? is attributable to errors in pixel count or reflectance sensor drift. According to the foregoing, the nominal control line and control band in TC-Tribo space is altered to produce a much wider usable At range.

Using a document scanner or other image input device of an image or document processing system to periodically scan or image printed test images from a plurality of marking engines replaces internal sensors as a feedback means in image quality control. For example, image lightness (L*) is controlled by periodically printing mid-tone test patches, scanning the printed test patches with a main job document scanner and analyzing the scanned image to determine updated marking engine actuator set points. For instance, ROS exposure and/or scorotron grid voltages are adjusted to maintain image lightness consistency between marking engines.
摘要:
An image transfer apparatus with the capacity to reduce or clean wire history. The cleaning is performed by supplying a voltage burst to shift, relative to nominal, the D.C. component of the electrode bias relative to the electrical bias of the donor member during the movement of the inter-imaging region through the development zone. A voltage shift may also be applied to electrically bias the donor member relative to the photoreceptor belt during the movement of the inter-imaging region through the development zone. These voltage shifts may be conducted individually or simultaneously.

A method and apparatus in an electrostatographic reproduction machine having a plurality of development units for reliably producing high quality toner particle images under varying sustained area toner coverage conditions. The apparatus employing the method includes a control system (a) for reading a stored area toner coverage level threshold value; a first operating time control algorithm and a second operating time control algorithm for adding and admixing in each development unit of the plurality of development units; (b) for measuring sustained area toner coverage levels of images being reproduced during a reproduction job; (c) for comparing the measured sustained area toner coverage levels of images being reproduced with the stored area toner coverage level threshold value; and (d) for changing the operating time control algorithm for adding and admixing in each development unit between the first operating time control algorithm and the second operating time control algorithm depending on a result of comparing the measured sustained area toner coverage levels of images being reproduced with the stored threshold value.
