(under subclass 38) Subject matter wherein a charge or potential level of a photoconductive member is adjusted in response to the sensed condition.
(1) Note. This subject matter is for the charging of a photoconductive member only. For other charging (e.g., charging of toner), see SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS below.
(2) Note. This subject matter includes, for example, using light exposure to control the charge level.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
88+, for machine operations with power supply.
100, for particle or contaminant control in removal of toner from a charging member (e.g., corona wire).
115, for charging unit having a modular or displaceable structure.
128+, for supplemental process (e.g., fatigue treatment) involving charging. 153, for simultaneous charging and exposure.
168+, for charging, per se.
296, for exposure or charging of a developed image prior to transfer.
