Abstract
An electrostatic reproduction machine in which imaging radiation is transmitted from a radiation source to selectively discharge a photoconductive insulating layer to form a latent image of a document. The photoconductive layer is arranged to move relative to and in an arcuate path adjacent a charging corotron which is misaligned or skewed with respect to a line parallel to the axis of said arcuate path to produce a non-uniform charge across the layer.
Claims3
An electrostatographic reproduction machine in which imaging radiation is transmitted from a insulation layer to form a latent image of a document or other information, including a charging corotron arranged to differentially charge said layer such that said layer is relatively more highly charged centrally to compensate in the formation of said latent image for differential reductions of the imaging radiation, said layer being arranged to be moved relative to and in an arcuate path adjacent said corotron which is misaligned with respect to a line parallel to the axis of said arcuate path.
