  • Paper receptor material conditioning apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5539498
    Abstract: A receptor material conditioning apparatus and method for conditioning a moving paper web suitable for use in an electrostatographic printer. A heated drum reduces the moisture content of paper moving along a paper web path. A cooling box positioned downstream of the heated drum cools the moving receptor material. An electrometer determines the electrical condition of the paper before it leaves the apparatus. By conditioning the paper web, a higher yield of toner transfer in the subsequent electrostatographic printer can be obtained.
