Appl. No.:

8/622326

International Classification:

G03G 1314

US Classification:

430126

Abstract:

An imaging process including providing an electrophotographic imaging member including a substrate, a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer including a small molecule hole transporting diarylamine, a small molecule hole transporting tritolyl amine and a film forming binder, depositing a uniform electrostatic charge on the imaging member with a corona generating device to which power is being supplied, the corona generating device comprising at least one bare metal wire adjacent to and spaced from the imaging member, exposing the imaging member with activating radiation in image configuration to form an electrostatic latent image, developing the latent image with marking particles to form a toner image, transfering the toner image to a receiving member, repeating the depositing, exposing, developing, transfering steps, resting the imaging member for at least 15 minutes under the corona generating device while the power to the corona generating device is removed and while the corona generating device is emitting sufficent effluents to render the surface region of the electrophotographic imaging member underlying the corona generating device electrically conductive if the tritolyl amine were replaced with the small molecule hole transporting diarylamine, supplying power to the corona generating device, and repeating the depositing, exposing, developing, transfering steps at least once.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G03G 5082
G03G 509

US Classification:

430 58

Abstract:

An electrophotographic imaging member is disclosed consisting essentially of a supporting substrate, a charge transport layer substantially free of arsenic and tellurium and consisting essentially of selenium and a halogen selected from the group consisting of from about 4 parts per million by weight to about 13 parts per million by weight of chlorine and from about 8 parts per million by weight to about 25 parts per million by weight of iodine and a photoconductive charge generator layer comprising selenium, from about 5 percent to about 20 percent by weight tellurium, from about 0. 1 percent to about 4 percent by weight arsenic, and a halogen selected from the group consisting of up to about 70 parts per million by weight of chlorine and up to about 140 parts per million by weight of iodine, one surface of the charge generator layer being in operative electrical contact with the charge transport layer and the other surface of the charge generator layer being exposed to the ambient atmosphere. This electrophotographic imaging member may be employed in a process involving depositing a substantially uniform positive electrostatic charge on the exposed surface of the photoconductive charge generator layer of the electrophotographic imaging member, exposing the electrophotographic imaging member to an imagewise pattern of electromagnetic radiation to which the selenium-tellurium-arsenic alloy photoconductive charge generating layer is responsive whereby an electrostatic latent image is formed on the electrophotographic imaging member, developing the electrostatic image with electrostatically attractable toner particles to form a toner particle deposit in image configuration, and transferring the toner particle deposit to a receiving member. The process may be repeated numerous times in an automatic device.
