    摘要: 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.

(噪声因子),分配设定点减少一个单位。 如果破碎斜率小于目标值大于α,则分配点增加一个单位。 噪音因素? 可归因于像素计数或反射率传感器漂移的误差。 根据上述,TC-Tribo空间中的标称控制线和控制带被改变以产生更广泛的可用At范围。

    摘要: 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: 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.
