Abstract
An apparatus in which a donor roll advances toner to an electrostatic latent image recorded on a photoconductive member. A plurality of electrode wires are positioned in the space between the donor roll and the photoconductive member. A support contacts the electrode wires at at least two points. One of the contact points is selected to minimize the wire edge angle between with the other of the contact points being selected to minimize the wire free span. In this way, edge banding and strobing effects are minimized.
