Switching of developer bias polarity

With the area which has no negative charge, background fogging is decreased by switching

the bias to the positive polarity (approx. +150 V).

Carbon

 

(5-10%)

Developer material

The developer material consists of a mixture of the toner and carrier. The toner is charged to the negative polarity and the carrier to positive polarity due to the friction with each other caused by mixing.

Toner : Mainly consists of the resin and carbon.

5-20 µm

Resin (90-95%)

[Toner]

Ferrite

30-100 µm

Carrier : Consists of the ferrite and resin coating on its surface to provide consistent

frictional electrification.

Note:

If the developer material is used for a long time (beyond its normal life span), the toner is caked onto the carrier.

The charging performance of the carrier is low- ered.

Symptom : 1. Image density is lowered.

2.Toner scattering occurs.

3.Background fogging occurs.

Solution : Replace the developer material.

Toner Carrier

No frictional electrification occurs on

the area where the toner is caked.

Magnetic roller

-Magnetic brush development -

The south and north poles are arranged inside the magnetic roller as shown in the right figure. The developer material forms a brush-like fluff which contacts the photoconductive drum sur- face.

This is caused by the magnetic force lines be- tween the south and north poles.
