Abstract: A method and system for printing documents with one or more embedded security features is provided. Security features are embedded in the document by co-printing magnetic and non-magnetic toner on a receiver before fixation by a fixing station. The combination of magnetic and non-magnetic toners in the image results in image elements that easily show alteration or are undetectable by visual means.

Abstract: A mechanism for cleaning the toning roller of a development station for a reproduction apparatus, the toning roller serving to apply marking particles to a latent image to develop such image. The cleaning mechanism comprises including an elongated polyurethane blade having a lead edge. The elongated polyurethane blade is mounted such that the lead edge contacts such toning roller at an angle to a plane tangent to such toning roller, the angle when measured between the plane and the blade adjacent to the cleaned side of the toning roller being in the range of approximately 10.degree.-30.degree..

Abstract: Scavenging apparatus for removing substantially all unwanted particles from the image and non-image areas of an electrostatographic imaging member without appreciable adverse effects on the desired image remaining thereon, includes an alternating pole magnetic roller for rotatably creating a fast changing magnetic field, a stationary ac biased shell for enclosing the magnetic roller and for creating a low, but fast changing electrostatic field, and a low vacuum system. This apparatus combines the effects of such magnetic and electrostatic fields with those of the low vacuum system to gently loosen and effectively remove unwanted particles from the imaging member, without resort to relatively strong electrostatic field and vacuum values that are likely to adversely affect the desired loose toner image still on the imaging member.

Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for scavenging charged particles (e.g. triboelectrically carrier particles) from an electrographic recording element. Such apparatus comprises a conductive grid positioned in close proximity to the path of the recording element, and biasing means for electrically biasing the grid so as to attract the charged particles from the recording element yet prevent them from depositing on, and thereby contaminating, the grid.

Abstract: An electrographic apparatus, of the type employing a brush-type developer applicator which contacts one side of a flexible electrostatic image-bearing web, has (1) a web feed-path constructed in a predetermined configuration and (2) the applicator predeterminedly positioned relative to the feed-path defining elements, such that the flexible image-bearing web is allowed to move freely toward and away from the developer applicator in response to the varying contours of the applicator.
