METHOD TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PROTECT A XEROGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR FROM LIGHT SHOCK AND PROVIDE STARTUP LUBRICATION AT INSTALL

摘要

A removable protective coating for a photoreceptor that includes a colorant of a preselected color and a lubricant for providing initial lubrication to the photoreceptor and cleaning system blade or brush. The coating also includes a binding agent that is configured to attach the colorant and the lubricant together. The removable protective coating further includes a solution mixed with the colorant, the lubricant, and the binding agent, the mixed solution being applied to an exterior surface of the photoreceptor drying to form the removable protective coating. The removable protective coating is removed by the cleaning system during startup, providing lubrication to the cleaning system and the photoreceptor.
