Abstract
Recalculation of electrostatic target values in a tri-level imaging apparatus are utilized to extend the useful life of the photoreceptor (P/R). The increase in residual voltage due to P/R aging which would normally necessitate P/R disposal is obviated by resetting the target voltage for the full ROS exposure when it reaches its exposure limit with current P/R conditions. All contrast voltage targets are then recalculated based on this new target. The new targets are calculated based on current capability of the overall system and the latitude is based on voltage instead of exposure.
