  • Patent number: 6195526
    Abstract: A fixation roller for a liquid electrophotographic printer rotates in contact with a transfer roller transferring an image developed on a photoreceptor web to a sheet of paper. The fixation roller includes a body made of metal, an elastic rubber layer formed on the outer circumferential surface of the body, and silicon oil included in the rubber layer to come out to the surface of the rubber layer at a high temperature during printing, thus encompassing the surface of the rubber layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6192214
    Abstract: A roller cleaning apparatus of a liquid electrophotographic printer cleans a circumferential surface of a roller where a film is formed due to contact with a photoreceptor medium. The apparatus includes an abrasion member installed to be in contact with the roller for abrading the film using friction. Thus, contamination of the roller can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 5963768
    Abstract: A developing unit for an electrophotographic apparatus that uses a cleaning roll, oppositely charged from the toner remaining on the developing roller, to clean a developing roller after a latent electrostatic image has been developed into a latent toner image. The ink is removed from the developing roller and mixed with fresh toner from the toner cartridge to maintain a uniform charge throughout the toner that is applied to the developing roller and to increase the quality of resolution obtained when printing for an extended period of time.

  • Patent number: 5812904
    Abstract: A system for controlling a potential of a photosensitive drum for a laser beam printer having a photosensitive drum on which an electrostatic image is formed, a charger for applying voltages differentially to an image forming area where the photosensitive drum contacts a recording medium and to a non-image forming area where the photosensitive drum does not contact the recording medium to charge the outer surface of the photosensitive drum to a given polarity, a light scanner unit for forming an electrostatic latent image on the drum corresponding to image data, a developing unit for applying toner onto the photosensitive drum during the image forming area and a transfer charger for transferring a toner image formed on the drum to the recording medium.
