A method for adjusting an encoder pulse count delay in a printing system for printing on a continuous web of print media using first and second printheads. First and second encoders are provided at different positions along the media transport path. An initial encoder pulse count delay is provided for use in printing with the second printhead. An initial ratio of the first encoder pulse rate to the second encoder pulse rate is determined. At a subsequent time a subsequent ratio of the first encoder pulse rate to the second encoder pulse rate is determined. An adjusted encoder pulse count delay is determined by adjusting the initial encoder pulse count delay responsive to the initial ratio and the subsequent ratio and used to control printing by the second printhead.

A rotation molded particulate collection bottle for a copier/duplicator machine, which is connectable to a particulates separation source, which is not prone to failure under vacuums required in the air circulation systems for copier/duplicator machines and which is rotation molded and has a wall thickness of at least about 0.20 inches.

A bottle for collecting untransferred developer material and debris cleaned from a dielectric member of a reproduction apparatus. The collection bottle is a container having an opening adapted to receive untransferred developer material and debris therethrough for storage within the container. The container is made of a conductive material. The conductive material is a carbon-doped plastic having a volume resistivity of less than 10 omhs cms with the carbon dopent being approximately 15-20% by weight. The container is coupled to electrical ground via an electrical tap, whereby static charge build-up is substantially prevented.

A grid electrode for attachment to a corona charger includes a series of substantially parallel grid wires extending in a longitudinal direction of the wires. A flat metallic plate member is formed integral with the wires at one of the longitudinal ends of the wires. A cap member is connected to the plate member. The cap member includes a cover segment having a surface that overlies and is in planar contact engagement with a substantial portion of a respective plate member with a thickness of at least 0.5 millimeters and the cover segment being formed of a material that is substantially electrically more resistive than the flat metallic plate member.
