Abstract: According to aspects illustrated herein, a system, a printmaking device, and a method for pre-curling and registering media are provided herein. The system includes a media curler system and a deskew mechanism. The media curler system pre-curls at least one of lead edge and a trail edge of a sheet before delivery to a media hold-down transport. The deskew mechanism is coupled to the media curler system for pivoting the media curler system about a pivot axis to deskew the sheet. The pivot axis extends perpendicular to the media transport path. In operation, as the lead edge enters the pre-curling and registration system, the media curler system pre-curls the sheet towards the media hold-down transport. As the sheet is being pre-curled, the deskew mechanism pivots the media curler system about the pivot axis to correct any skew errors in the sheet.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing charged particles from a surface, the surface being capable of movement, comprising: a preclean corotron having a first polarity; and a first means of cleaning the charged particles from the surface, having a second polarity different from said first polarity of said preclean corotron; a second means of cleaning the charged particles from the surface, having a predefined polarity, said second cleaning means being located downstream from said first cleaning means, in the direction of motion of the surface; and a controller for changing the predefined polarity of said second cleaning means from said first polarity to said second polarity.

Abstract: A process for preparing a photoreceptor by forming a coating of a substrate followed by curing. The coating contains an electroactive material dissolved or dispersed in a polymerizable film forming monomer, which is first polymerized into a solid matrix.
