Definitions

  • each processing station is substantially optimized for the specific characteristics of the photoconductive surface employed and the changes occurring thereto during the processing.
  • Capacitor 92 is recharged to this voltage.
  • the output voltage is applied to power supply high-voltage operational amplifier 96 which holds the voltage output from the respective processing stations substantially constant until the next signal is received.
  • contact 94 is again opened and the whole circuit waits for the next sample. It is evident, therefore, that this type of arrangement permits the probe of the present invention to detect both increases and decreases in potential while, substantially simultaneously therewith, generating a continuous control signal for regulating the potential applied to the respective processing stations.
  • the foregoing circuitry heretofore described with regard to FIG. 4 will be referred to hereinafter by the reference numeral 98.
  • the machine logic provides the other signal for the AND gate so as to actuate the appropriate channel corresponding to the developer unit being excited. It would be obvious to one skilled in the art that a single color electrophotographic machine would only require one channel inasmuch as only one developer unit is employed.
  • a suitable development system employing a plurality of developer units is disclosed in co-pending application Ser. No. 255,259 filed in 1970, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated into the present application. It should be noted that voltage source 114 is adapted to electrically bias developer rolls 115, 117 and 119 to a normal voltage of about 500 volts.
