Abstract: The invention relates to a developer station for electrophotographic printing apparatus operating in multicolor simplex and duplex mode and having continuous paper. The developer station contains a plurality of adjacent developer chambers with developer drums and transport drums arranged within. The adjacent developer chambers are separated by partition walls with openings though which the drums pass. The drums driven together are positively connected with each other by coupling elements arranged in the area of the openings and having associated toner-proof seals.

Abstract: An electrophotographic printer device for both-sided printing of a tape-shaped, narrow recording medium (10) and for single-sided printing of a wide recording medium or a plurality of parallel, narrow recording media (10/1,10/2,10/3) contains a printer module that is designed for printing recording media differing in width. A delivery module and a turn-over module (28) are removably arranged in the printer module, the narrow recording medium (10) being turned over after the printing of the front side and being reconducted through the printer module for printing the back side via said delivery module and turn-over module.

Abstract: An electrographic printer device is designed for printing tape-shaped recording media (10) with different tape widths in different operating modes such as single-color and multi-color simplex printing, single-color and multi-color duplex printing and for simultaneous printing of two recording medium webs in parallel operation. It comprises a module-like device structure with a printer module having a means for generating toner images arranged therein. A single fixing station (18) is arranged above this means. Via a deflection means (28), the recording medium (10) is supplied in single-color or multi-color duplex mode to a return channel (38) that contains a turn-over station (30).

Abstract: A device for tensioning a data carrier which is moved by feed tractors, such as a paper sheet moving past a printing station in a non-mechanical printer or copier in which the feed tractors consist of a toothed belt entrained about pairs of wheels, the teeth of the belt engaging perforations in the side margins of the data carrier, has a cam mounted on a shaft between the wheels in a feed tractor. The wheels are mounted on a guide block having a bearing element which acts as a cam follower so that by rotating the cam the wheels are synchronously displaced so as to suitably tension the data carrier in the printing station.

Abstract: An adjustable mounting and driving device is disclosed for a polygonal mirror to be mounted on a drive shaft. The mirror is held at an axial end in a cup shaped cavity in a holder having a central bore for receipt of the drive shaft. The bore has a drive shaft contact area which is relatively axially short allowing the housing to tilt on the drive shaft. A plate is fixably mounted on the drive shaft axially adjacent the holder and has a plurality of axially adjustable set screws engageable with a back wall of the holder to control tilt of the holder on the shaft. A resilient member between a front wall of the housing and an extension of the plate urges the housing into contact with the set screws and rotatably drives the mirror.
