  • Patent number: 8295722
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for developing a latent image recorded on an imaging surface, including: a housing defining a reservoir storing a supply of developer material comprising toner; a donor member positioned in the housing, spaced from the imaging surface, for transporting toner on an outer surface of the donor member to a region opposed from the imaging surface, a print quality system for monitoring a plurality of xerographic actuator parameters, the print quality system generating a feedback signal if at least one of a plurality of xerographic actuator parameters is beyond a predefined threshold limit; and system for translating the donor member from a first predefined spacing to a second predefined spacing from the imaging surface in response to the feedback signal from the print quality system.

  • Patent number: 7263322
    Abstract: A smart and virgin contact fuser service assembly is disclosed for servicing a toner fuser assembly and includes (a) a cleaning device including a cleaning member having virgin cleaning portions on a cleaning surface, the virgin cleaning portions being feedable in a single pass into cleaning contact with a fuser first surface of a fuser member being cleaned; (b) an oiling device including an oiling member having virgin oiling portions on an oiling surface, the virgin oiling portions being feedable in a single pass into oiling contact with a second surface of a fuser member being oiled; and (c) a controller connected to the cleaning device and to the oiling device for selectably and controllably feeding the virgin cleaning portions and the oiling portions in response to a measurable condition of the surface of the fuser roll.

  • Publication number: 20070134032
    Abstract: A heated stripper finger assembly is provided for stripping toner image carrying copy sheets from a surface of a moving heated fusing member. The heated stripper finger assembly includes (a) at least one baffle forming part of a sheet path; (b) a finger shaft having a first end attached to the at least one baffle and a second distal end for forming a sheet directing angle with the surface of the moving heated fusing member; (c) a heated finger tip located at the second distal end of the finger shaft for contacting a surface of the moving heated fusing member to strip the toner image carrying copy sheets without toner building up on the heated finger tip; and (d) a heating element connected to the heated finger tip and to a heat source for controlling a temperature of the heated finger tip at a desired level.
