Abstract: In a system or method for development of potential images of images to be printed and generated on an intermediate image carrier using a developer fluid comprising charged toner particles and developer fluid in an electrographic printing or copying device, a feed device is provided comprising as function elements at least one chamber scraper, a raster element comprising cups to receiver the developer fluid, and at least one first flow element arranged in the chamber scraper. Between the at least one flow element and the raster element an electrical voltage is supplied such that a toner particle concentration in the cups of the raster element is increased. An application device accepts the developer fluid from the feed device and supplies it to the intermediate image carrier.

Abstract: In a method and system for transfer printing of an electrostatic recharge toner image from an intermediate carrier onto a recording medium and for fixing of the transfer-printed toner image onto the recording medium, the recording medium lying on an electrostatically-chargeable conveyor belt and adhered thereto by electrostatic forces is transported through a transfer printing region and subsequently along a guided transport section. The recording medium is conveyed to a fixing device. The guided transport section is arranged in a transport unit and the fixing device is arranged in a fixing unit which are independent of one another. The fixing unit has at least one wall designed to hinder a heat transfer from the fixing unit to the transport unit.

Abstract: A printer or copier has a sheet alignment apparatus including a pair of detents, or walls, at a right angle to one another against which the sheet is moved. To move the sheet, a sheet positioning mechanism is provided which includes two paddlewheels that engage the sheet as they rotate and that are directed offset from one another. The paddlewheels may be angled to shear with one another, and the mounting on which they are supported may be pivotable to redirect the paddlewheels.
