  • Device having embedded supply consumption rate test capability
    Patent number: 7050182
    Abstract: A printer having an embedded marking agent yield test capability has a formatter, a control panel, a print engine module, and a memory module. The memory module stores a data file for printing a standard marking agent test page, and is linked to the control panel. The memory module is further linked to the print engine module via a linkage that bypasses the formatter. Standardized marking agent test pages can thereby be printed directly from the printer control panel while bypassing the formatter. This removes uncertainties and inconsistencies that were associated with marking agent testing of the prior art.
    Type: Grant

  • Magnetic toner use in a non-contact cleanerless system
    Patent number: 6621996
    Abstract: A noncontact cleanerless system toner cartridge that uses an injection charging roller and toner with conductive particles is remanufactured into a conventional toner cartridge. The injection charging roller is removed and replaced with a primary charge roller. A cleaning blade to remove the residual toner from the organic photoconductive drum is added along with a seal to form a toner waste hopper area. The toner with the conductive particles is replaced with toner having magnetic particles.
