Abstract
A photoconductive sleeved primary image-forming member roller for use in an electrophotographic machine comprising a central member including a rigid cylindrical core member and a compliant layer formed on the core member; and a flexible, replaceable, removable, photoconductive sleeve member in the form of an endless tubular belt that surrounds and nonadhesively intimately contacts the central member.
Claims16
A replaceable photoconductive sleeve member used as an image-forming member comprising:
- a substrate formed as a tubular endless belt;
- a charge generating layer coated on said substrate;
- a charge transport layer coated on said charge generating layer;
- and
- a thin, hard, wear resistant layer covering said charge transport layer.
A method of forming a replaceable imaging element in the form of a sleeve member comprising the steps of:
- forming a substrate into a tubular endless belt;
- coating a charge generating layer on said substrate;
- creating a charge transport layer coated on said charge generating layer;
- and
- covering said charge transport layer with a thin, hard, wear resistant layer.
