Definitions
- a number of images may be disposed on the belt before the sheet of paper adapted to receive the foremost image is fed from the paper supply station.
- these electrostatic images would proceed through the developer and the transfer rollers to the cleaning station of the-machine wherein the-belt is ordinarily cleaned prior to the charging thereof and exposure of a new image. If the paper is not present at the transfer station when the developed image arrives thereat, the xerographic surface with the toner-image thereon can cause numerous problems. Toner may be transferred from the belt to the transfer rollers.
- the toner that is not transferred to the transfer roll will be conveyed by movement of the belt to the cleaning station of the machine. Since the cleaning station is designed to remove the residual toner remaining after the majority of the toner is transferred to the copy sheet, in the event that a copy sheet is not present at the transfer rolls, excess quantities of toner willreach the cleaning station, putting an undue load thereon. Besides the problems presented at the transfer station and the cleaning station, this type of operation is extremely wasteful of xerographic toner.
- This invention relates to a method for minimizing problems in a zerographic machine caused by the misfeed of copy paper therethrough by discharging the electrostatic image on the photoconductive surface before that portion of the surface reaches the developer station, tie-energizing the developer, and removing the electrical bias on the transfer rolls to prevent transfer of toner thereto and minimize the possibilityof carrying excess toner to the cleaning station of the. machine.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a reproduction machine showing the various processing stations therein; and, L
- FIG. 2 is a schematicblock diagram of the control system to provide a programmed shutdown of the machine in the event of a paper misfeed.
- FIG. 1 For a general understanding of an electrostatic processing system in which the invent-ion may be incorporated, reference is bad to FIG. 1 in which various components of a system are schematically illustrated.
- a light image of the original to be reproduced is projected onto the sensitized surface of a zerographic plate to form an electrostatic latent image thereon.
- the latent image is developed with an oppor sitely charged developing material comprising carrier beads and smaller powder particles triboelectrically adhering thereto to "form a xerographic powder image corresponding to the latent image on the plate surface.
- the powder image is then electrostatically transferred to a support surface to which it may be fixed by a fusing device whereby the powder image is caused permanently to adhere to the support surface.
- the electrostatically attractable developing material commonly used in electrostatic reproduction systems comprises a pigmented resinous powder hereinafter referred to as toner", and carrier" of larger granular beads formed from a material removed in the triboelectric series from the toner so that a triboelectric charge is generated between the toner powder and the granular carrier.
- the carrier also provides mechanical control .sothat the toner can be readily handled and brought into contact with the exposed xerographic surface where the toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image from the carrier to produce a visible powder image on the xerographic surface.
- an original D to be copied is placed upon a transparent support platen P, fixedly arranged in anillumination assembly generally indicated'by the reference numeral 10. While upon the platen, an illumination system L comprising two or more lamps and reflectors is flash energized to direct light rays upon the original to produce image rays corresponding to the informational areas on the original.
- the image rays are projected by means of an optical system 11 to an exposure station A for exposing the photosensitive surface of a moving xerographic plate in the form of a flexible photoconductive belt 12.
- a corona device 13 indicated at a belt run extending bement of the electrostatic image.
- a discharge device preferably a flourescent lamp'17 is provided adjacent support roller 16 for reasons to be explained hereinafter.
- the electrostatic image passes around the roller 16 to a developer station B located at a third run of the belt in which there is positioned developing apparatus generally indicated by the reference numeral 18.
- the developer apparatus 18 comprises a plurality of brushes adapted for rotation by a suitable motor 19 to carry developer along the adjacent surface of the upwardly moving inclined .photoconductive belt 12 to provide develop-
- the developed electrostatic image is transported be the belt 12 to a transfer station C located at a point of tangency on the belt around the drive roller whereat a sheet of copy paper is moved at a speed in synchronism with the moving belt in order to accomplish transfer of a properly registered developed imagejA transfer roller 20 is provided at transfer stationC for contacting the upper surface of the copy paper to assure good contact between the copy paper and the belt 12 during transfer of the toner imagefrom the belt tothe paper.
- An electrical bias may be provided on roller 20 to attract the toner from belt 12 to the-copy paper.
- a copy sheet supplying apparatus comprising a main paper feed supply 21 and an auxiliary paperifeed supply 22.
- Each of the'paper supplies is adapted to separatesheets from their respective supply stacks and to transport the sheets to a sheet registration station and eventually into contact with the developedimage on thebelt as the same is carried around the drive roller 1 5.
- -Control means 23 are operatively associated with each of the paper supply mechanisms 21, 22 and the flash illumination device L for producing an electrostatic latent image on the; belt 12 to present a developed image at the transfer station C in timed sequence with the arrival of a sheet of paper, and is coordinated with the activation of other processing and control devices at the precise time that these elements are to function for their intended purpose.
- a paper sensing'device 24 is positioned adjacent the paper. path between the paper supply mechanism 21 and 22 and the trnsfer station C, to determine if the paper .is fed therefrom at the proper time relative to the image on the photoreceptor belt.
- the developed image is transferred to a sheet of paper, it is stripped from the belt 12 and conveyed by Y conveying system 25 into a fuser apparatus generally indicated by reference numeral 26 whereinthe developed and transferred xerographic powder image on the sheet material is affixed thereto; After fusing, the finished copy isdischarged from the apparatus by a conve yor 27 at a suitable point for collection externally of the apparatus.
- control system 23 is adapted to immediately energizevlamp 17, deactivate the developer motor 19, remove the electrical bias on transfer roller 20 and move the transfer roller out of contact with the belt by a suitable mechanism (not shown).
- the cleaning station will onl'y'be required to remove toner from one or two developed images rather than all the images that were on the belt prior to the detection of the misfeed.
- What is claimed isi 1.
- a reproduction machine adapted for making copies of an original through a plurality of process steps continuously energizing the transfer roller and main- 'taining the transfer roller in contact with the photoconductive surface during a normal copy run; removing the electrical bias on the transfer roller moving the transfer roller away from the photoconductive surface in the event of a paper misfeed to prevent transfer of toner to the roller; and, de-energizing the developer to prevent development of latent electrostatic images passing by the developer subsequent to a paper misfeed. 2.
