Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for optimizing charge image generation on a photoconductor of electrophotographic printing and copying devices.
- electrophotographic printing devices are mostly used in connection with EDP systems and the operator's options for influencing the print quality are insignificant, there are extremely high quality requirements for electrophotographic printing devices. In order to meet these high requirements, it is necessary to reduce the permissible tolerance ranges in electrophotographic processes.
- Electrophotographic printing devices for example, print single sheets or continuous paper by generating a latent image on a photo conductor, which is preferably in the form of a drum.
- the photoconductor is charged to a defined charging potential.
- a latent image is then generated on the photoconductor by means of an exposure device, which supplies energy to the photoconductor at certain points, by reducing the charge in the areas of the photoconductor by exposure to such an extent that these areas are subsequently printed out in the so-called “charged area” development "(CAD-) remain white or with the so-called “Discharged area development” (DAD) can be colored with toner.
- toner is applied to the photoconductor with the aid of a developing device, which toner adheres to the charged areas (CAD process) or to the discharged areas (DAD process) of the photoconductor.
- the toner image on the photoconductor is then transferred, for example, to paper or another recording medium and, in a downstream fixing station, is melted down by heating the recording medium or connected to it by the adhesive forces which arise when the toner image melts.
- the photoconductor is completely discharged and cleaned of residual toner, in order to then be fully charged again to a fixed potential for the preparation of the next exposure.
- the discharge characteristics Kl, K2 and thus the level of the potential of exposed areas on the photoconductor are also affected, for example, by production-related fluctuations, the quality of the photoconductor, its age, its temperature and the current process state, for example influences the start of a printing process, longer pauses between individual printing processes or different environmental influences.
- ters, due to the consequent different toner receptacle in the developer unit to quality Schwan ⁇ fluctuations cause a printed image to be produced.
- a method is known from Japanese document JP 6-230642 (A) and the associated Japanese patent application HEI 5-15327, in which the discharge characteristic of the photoconductor is dependent on the exposure energy by repeated measurement of the discharge potential in order to optimize the generation of charge images - tials at different exposure energies and a subsequent approximation between the measured values is determined. It is disadvantageous that both several measurements are required, and furthermore it has to be approximated in order to determine the optimal value for the exposure energy.
- US-A-4, 502, 777 discloses a large number of physical relationships in a copying process and, based thereon, specifies a comparatively complex method for correcting the charging voltage or the current flowing through the charging unit, without measuring the charging potential or the discharge potential is carried out.
- an iteration method for determining the charging potential or the current flowing through the charging device at constant exposure energy is also given.
- this iteration method has the N downside that it assumes an approximately linear relationship between the discharge potential and exposure energy.
- a residual or discharge potential present on a photoconductor on the photoconductor is set to a predetermined target value, from which slight deviations are only permissible within narrow limits.
- a charging potential which is the potential to which the photoconductor is charged before exposure, and / or an exposure energy used for exposing the photoconductor
- a charging potential which is the potential to which the photoconductor is charged before exposure
- an exposure energy used for exposing the photoconductor is adapted .
- Such an adjustment of the charging potential and / or the exposure energy can be achieved, for example, using assignment tables; the assignment tables contain, for example, depending on various parameters, corresponding values to which the charging potential and / or the exposure energy are set.
- the parameters used are, for example, the temperature of the photoconductor, the discharge potential remaining after a test exposure and a calculated or determined sensitivity factor of the photoconductor layer.
- the charging potential to be used to achieve optimum printing results and / or the exposure energy to be used are thus calculated or preferably taken from the assignment tables with the aid of one or more specific parameters.
- the tables contain, for example, empirically determined values or values calculated using formulas.
- the photoconductor is charged to a standard charging potential. Then, after the exposure using standard exposure energy, the discharge potential generated on the photoconductor and the temperature of the photoconductor are measured. Following this, a sensitivity factor and an exposure energy adapted on the basis of the sensitivity factor are determined, for example by means of a microprocessor.
- the photoconductor is recharged to the predetermined charging potential, exposed with the determined, adjusted exposure energy, and then the generated discharge potential is measured or determined. If the discharge potential generated is in the range of the predetermined target value, the charge image is generated on the photoconductor charged with the standard charging potential by exposing it to the adjusted exposure energy.
- this can also be determined by means of a predetermined difference value, the difference value being calculated from the charging potential and the generated discharging potential. Apart from slight fluctuations, the distance between charged and discharged areas remains constant.
- the method steps specified in claim 6 are preferably carried out.
- a discharge potential is generated and measured with a maximum exposure energy and the predetermined charging potential.
- An adjusted charging potential is then determined from the measured discharge potential, with which the photoconductor is charged, provided that the adjusted charging potential lies within a predetermined working range, which is also generally determined by the technology used.
- the photoconductor charged to the determined charging potential is again exposed to the maximum exposure energy and the newly generated discharge potential is determined. If this is within the specified tolerance range, the charge pattern is determined using the adapted charging tials and the maximum exposure energy generated on the photoconductor.
- the adapted charge potential is redetermined and the above-explained steps are repeated in an iteration loop until the value of the generated discharge potential lies within the specified tolerance range.
- a charge image is generated by exposing a charged photoconductor with a minimal charging potential to the maximum exposure energy.
- the steps specified in claim 6 are preferably also carried out, however, the maximum exposure energy is used instead of the minimum exposure energy.
- the photoconductor is charged with the specified charging potential and then exposed with minimal exposure energy. With the help of the discharge potential thus generated and subsequently measured, an adapted charge potential is calculated. If the adjusted charging potential lies within the specified working range, the photoconductor is charged to the adjusted charging potential, exposed with minimal exposure energy and then the discharging potential generated in this way is re-tuned.
- the charge pattern becomes generated using the adjusted charging potential and the minimum exposure energy.
- the adapted charge potential is redetermined and the steps explained above are carried out again. This iteration loop is repeated until the generated discharge potential lies within the predetermined tolerance range and the charge image can be generated with the adapted charging potential and the minimal exposure energy, or until the charging potential calculated at the beginning of the iteration loop is not within the working range . In the latter case, the charge image is generated using the maximum charging potential and the minimum exposure energy.
- the influence of all influence factors which influence the characteristic of the photoconductor is taken into account.
- the temperature of the photoconductor does not have to be kept constant and in this respect the operating costs of the electrophotographic printing device are lower.
- Another advantage of the method according to the invention is that raster or feminine lines are reproduced with constant quality even with different characteristics of photoconductors. This also extends the useful life of photoconductors, since they can still be used and used even with less favorable characteristic curves due to aging.
- the method according to the invention is carried out automatically. Since the method according to the invention runs very quickly, the critical parameters can be checked, preferably not only after switching on a printer, after pausing or after printing Replacement of a photoconductor, but also be carried out at suitable time intervals during the printing operation.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement for optimizing charge image generation and in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the above-mentioned technical effects also apply to the arrangement which is preferably installed in a printer or copier.

- the characteristic curves K 1 and K 2 are exemplary characteristic curves, ie, after exposure, at time t 3 there may also be areas with other potentials deviating from Vp__ or Vj 3 2.
- the different course of the characteristic curves K1 and K2 of one or more photoconductors depends, for example, on environmental conditions, such as the temperature, on production-related fluctuations, on the quality of the photoconductor, on its age or on the current process state, such as the start of the printing process or the length of a pause between individual printing processes.
- the characteristic curve K 1 describes, for example, a photoconductor that is relatively insensitive and / or cold.
- the characteristic curve K2 describes a photoconductor which is more sensitive and / or warmer than the photoconductor described by the characteristic curve K1.
