Abstract
A developer unit for developing a latent image recorded on an image receiving member to form a developed image is provided. The developer unit includes a housing defining a chamber for storing at least a supply of toner therein and a moving donor member spaced from the image receiving member. The donor member is adapted to transport toner from the chamber of the housing to the image receiving member in a development zone. The donor member receives toner from a reloading zone. The developer unit also includes an electrode structure and an electrical field establisher for establishing an electrical field between the donor member and the electrode structure. The electrical field establisher is spaced from the development zone and the reloading zone, to assist in cleaning toner from the donor member.
