• 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).
• 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.
Carrier : Consists of the ferrite and resin coating
on its surface to provide consistent
frictionalelectrication.
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.
