A stock library contains objects that encapsulate attributes of respective stocks that may be used in an image reproducing apparatus. The objects may include visual representations, such as icons, for representing the stocks. A stock library window may display the icons and selected attributes of the stocks to provide a visual catalog of the stocks that are available to an operator. The visual representations may be dragged and dropped to program paper trays, select stocks for print jobs and provide other behavior.

Stock library mechanism for providing visual representations of stock objects in an image reproducing system

An apparatus in which contaminants transferred from a copy sheet to a photoconductive member are attracted back to the copy sheet. During the transfer of the toner powder image from the photoconductive member to the copy sheet, the copy sheet contaminants are attracted to the photoconductive member. Simultaneously with this transfer process, the copy sheet contaminants have their polarity charged to the same polarity as the polarity of the charge on the toner powder image. In this way, the contaminants are attracted back to the copy sheet from the photoconductive member preventing contamination thereof.
