A printing device having a print carriage assembly that reduces a carriage excursion along a carriage scan axis and/or reduces a width of a printing flat zone along a media feed axis, is disclosed. The print carriage assembly has a frame that traverses across a media along a carriage scan axis. The media travels along a media feed axis that is substantially perpendicular to the carriage scan axis. A first print cartridge subassembly includes a first base secured to the frame and a plurality of first print elements secured to the first base. Each of the first print elements includes a first nozzle array for ejecting an ink composition. The plurality of first print elements are spaced apart along the carriage scan axis and are offset along the media feed axis. A second print cartridge subassembly includes a second base secured to the frame and a plurality of second print elements secured to the second base. Each of the second print elements have a second nozzle array for ejecting an ink composition. The plurality of second print elements are spaced apart along the carriage scan axis and are offset along the media feed axis. The print carriage assembly reduces a carriage excursion along a carriage scan axis and/or reduces a width of a printing flat zone along a media feed axis.

Modular carriage assembly for use with high-speed, high-performance, printing device

An apparatus for removing magnetic carrier beads and similar particles from a photoconductive surface includes a magnetic roller for magnetically attracting and removing the beads from the photoconductive surface. A housing has at least one v-shaped support, and the housing contains the magnetic roller. A back-up shaft is disposed on a side of the photoconductive surface opposite the housing and is supported by the v-shaped support. The shaft and the magnetic roller form a uniform gap having a width of 0.65 +/-0.10 mm.

Low lateral force rolls used in supporting a photoreceptor belt to minimize lateral belt motion on a multi-pass color copier. Single piece, widely spaced mounting through shafts are used in connection with side support structure of the module drawer to reduce inboard and outboard misalignment. An integral tensions slide/side plate guidance control system is employed to reduce misalignment of the tension roller. Use of these features aid in minimizing undesirable belt movement.

An apparatus for electrically coupling a conductive layer of a photoreceptor to a reference potential, the photoreceptor being positionable between an operative position and a replacement position. The apparatus includes an electrically conductive brush which is electrically coupled to the reference potential. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for moving the conductive brush into electrical contact with the conductive layer in response to the photoreceptor being moved to the operative position and out of electrical contact with the conductive layer in response to the photoreceptor being moved to the replacement position.

An apparatus is described which records an electrostatic latent image on a charger receiver. The apparatus includes a module which includes a bracket upon which a corona generating device is removably mounted. The bracket is also adapted to pivot so as to facilitate removal of the photoconductive member from the module.

Photoreceptor removal mechanism for a printing machine

A registration transport and transfer module is located in a retractable drawer having a camshaft actuated by a lever. Rotation of the lever turns the cam which cooperates with a mounting to enable the transfer module to be lowered beneath a photoconductive belt. The drawer may then be pulled away from the machine and the transfer module pivoted about a point so as to expose portions of the copy sheet path for jam clearance.
