Patent number: 8358323Abstract: A dual mode imaging system includes an ink jet device for imaging non-erasable media and a write device for imaging erasable media. A media transport subsystem is provided for supplying non-erasable and erasable media to one of the ink jet device and the write device. A heat source is incorporated into the media transport subsystem, and particularly in connection with a guide baffle of the ink jet device, the heat source heating erasable media to a temperature suitable for imaging at the write device.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Daniel Martin Bray, Anthony S. Condello, Grace T. Brewington

Patent number: 8177347Abstract: A dual mode imaging device includes an input for supplying a medium to the imaging device, the medium comprising at least one of an erasable paper, and a non-erasable paper. The erasable paper can be one of an imaged or a non-imaged erasable paper. A conventional imaging subsystem is provided for imaging the non-erasable paper. A heating subsystem is provided for heating an input medium to one of an erasing temperature, an imaging temperature, or a fusing temperature according to a type of job requirement. A cooling station selectively cools an erased medium to an imaging temperature. A write subsystem is provided for UV imaging an erased medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Grace T. Brewington, Anthony S. Condello, Daniel Martin Bray

Patent number: 8132884Abstract: A dual mode imaging device includes an input for supplying a recording medium to the printer. The recording medium can be erasable media and/or a non-erasable media. A carriage assembly within the imaging device includes guide rails, the carriage assembly reciprocal along the guide rails and parallel to an imaging surface of the recording medium. The carriage assembly includes an ink jet print head for imaging a non-erasable media in a first print mode and a write head having a UV imaging light source for imaging erasable media in a second print mode. The device further includes a heater provided on the carriage assembly for selectively heating the erasable media to one of an erase temperature and a UV imaging temperature. The heater can be proximate to or incorporated with the UV write head.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Grace T. Brewington, Anthony S. Condello, Daniel Martin Bray

Patent number: 8130249Abstract: An erasable media imaging device includes an input for supplying erasable media to the imaging device, the erasable media being one of an imaged erasable medium and a non-imaged erasable medium. An erase subsystem is provided for erasing an imaged erasable medium and a write subsystem is provided for imaging a non-imaged erasable medium, the erase subsystem and function decoupled from the write subsystem and function. In a corresponding method, one of an imaged erasable medium and a non-imaged erasable medium are supplied to the imaging device. The method further includes selecting only one of an erase mode and a write mode, the erase mode decoupled from the write mode, erasing an imaged erasable medium in the erase mode, and imaging the non-imaged erasable medium in the write mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Grace T. Brewington, Anthony S. Condello, Daniel Martin Bray

Patent number: 8077191Abstract: An imaging device includes an input for supplying an erasable medium to the imaging device, the erasable medium comprising at least one of an imaged and a non-imaged erasable medium. The imaging device further includes an erase subsystem comprising active and inactive states, the erase subsystem erasing an imaged erasable medium in an active state, a cooling subsystem for selectively cooling an erased medium, and a write subsystem for imaging a received medium. The device further includes a user interface for configuring the imaging device and a sensor for detecting the type of input medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Grace T. Brewington, Anthony S. Condello, Daniel Martin Bray
