Abstract
An image-forming machine has a development station with a dusting control system that generates a flow barrier adjacent to a development region.
Claims44
An image-forming machine comprising:
- a photoconductor;
- at least one charger operatively connected to the photoconductor, the at least one charger to electrostatically charge the photoconductor;
- an exposure machine operatively connected to the photoconductor, the exposure machine to form an electrostatic image on the photoconductor;
- and
- a development station operatively connected to the photoconductor, the development station comprising a dusting control system, the development station to apply toner on the photoconductor within a development region, the dusting control system to generate a flow barrier adjacent to the development region.
2 more elements
An image-forming machine comprising:
- a photoconductor;
- and
- a development station operatively connected to the photoconductor, the development station comprising a dusting control system and a leading edge, the development station to apply toner on the photoconductor, the dusting control system to generate a flow barrier adjacent to at least a portion of the leading edge.
A development station for an image-forming machine comprising:
- a dusting control system that spans at least a portion of a leading edge, the dusting control system to generate a flow barrier adjacent to a development region.
