Abstract: There is provided a method for use with a printing machine having a movable imaging member and a projecting system for modulating a beam and projecting an image into the movable imaging member. The printing machine further includes a developer for application of developer material to the image projected onto the movable imaging member for transfer of the image to a print media sheet. The method, which is intended for use in controlling exposure of a test patch on the movable imaging member includes the steps of: a) providing a time-keeping device with the time-keeping device including a variable value which is either incrementable or decrementable; b) detecting a signal indicating that the movable imaging member is positioned relative to the beam in a selected orientation, wherein the movable imaging member passes by the beam at a selected speed; c) providing a reference value with the reference value varying as a function of the selected speed; d) in response to the detecting of (b), modulating the beam, relative to the movable imaging member, so as to expose a portion for the test patch; e) concurrent with the modulating of (d), incrementing or decrementing the variable value of the time keeping device; and f) repeating said modulating of (d) until the value of the variable value is about equal to the reference value and the test patch is exposed.

Abstract: La presente invencion se refiere a un aparato para verificar y controlar un parámetro eléctrico de una superficie formadora de imagen, el aparato para control de verificacion incluye un generador de parche para registrar un primer parche de control a un primer nivel de voltaje y un segundo parche de control a un segundo nivel de voltaje en la superficie formadora de imagen; un voltímetro electrostático para medir potenciales de voltaje asociados con el primer parche de control y el segundo parche de control. Un procesador, en comunicacion con el generador de parches, calcula los parámetros eléctricos de la superficie formadora de imagen a partir de los potenciales de voltaje medidos desde el primer y segundo parches de control. El procesador determina una desviacion entre los valores de parámetros eléctricos calculados y valores pre-configurados. Luego, el procesador produce y envía una señal de error de realimentacion al generador de parches si la desviacion excede un nivel umbral. El generador de parche registra un tercer parche de control a un tercer nivel de voltaje en la superficie formadora de imagen al recibir la señal de error. El ESV detecta el tercer parche de control. El procesador calcula los parámetros eléctricos de la superficie formadora de imagen a partir del potencial de voltaje medido del tercer parche de control y determina un factor de correccion. El dispositivo de carga, sistemas de exposicion y revelador se ajustan de acuerdo con el factor de correccion.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein toner concentration is measured with a toner concentration (TC) sensor which is expensive but not accurate and relys on a measurement technique which is indirect and inferior in noise signal ratio, is used. SOLUTION: A developer composition having improved noise signal ratio in an optical toner concentration sensing system, including a toner having a first diffuse reflectivity and a carrier having a second diffuse reflectivity wherein the difference between the first diffuse reflectivity and the second diffuse reflectivity is substantially high. For example, the difference between the 1st diffuse reflectivity of the toner and the 2nd diffuse reflectivity of the carrier is preferably 5% or more. Consequently, the nose signal ratio of a toner concentration signal generated from an electric signal can be made relatively large according to light reflected by a transparent visual field window and a developer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for monitoring/controlling the electric parameter of an image forming surface. SOLUTION: A monitoring/controlling device includes a patch generator for recording a first control patch at a first voltage level and a second control patch at a second voltage level, on the image forming surface and an electrostatic wattmeter for measuring potentials related to the first and second control patches. A processor cooperated with the patch generator calculates the electric parameter of the image forming surface from the potentials measured from the first and second control patches. The processor decides the deviation between the calculated electric parameter value and a set up value. When the deviation exceeds a threshold level, the processor generates a feedback error signal and transmits it to the patch generator. This patch generator receives the error signal, to record a third control patch at a third voltage level on the image forming surface. An ESV senses the third control patch and the processor calculates the electric parameter on the image forming surface from the measured parameter of the third control patch, to decide a correction factor. A charge device, an exposure system and a developer are adjusted according to the correction factor.
