The Electrophotographic Process

  • Chapter
Book cover Electrophotography and Development Physics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Electrophysics ((SSEP,volume 14))

Abstract

Chapter 1 deals with the history and market of electrophotography and discusses alternative powder marking technologies. In this chapter we begin to discuss the actual technology. Section 2.1 defines the six process steps of electrophotography and provides the reader with a description of the physics within each step (or subsystem) and a guide to the literature. Section 2.2 compares the implementation of 70 cpm copiers by three different corporations; here the pervasive issue of subsystem interactions becomes immediately obvious. Section 2.3 lists and compares some of the technology choices for each subsystem.
