METHOD OF REMANUFACTURING A TONER CARTRIDGE AND REMANUFACTURED TONER CARTRIDGE

摘要

Provided herein is a method of remanufacturing a toner cartridge for use in a xerographic process, as well as a toner cartridge remanufactured by the disclosed method. According to one exemplary embodiment, the remanufacturing method includes electrically connecting a resistor of a predetermined resistance between a toner supply roll contact and a development roll contact, the resistor modifying the electric field between the toner supply roll and development roll, where the remanufactured toner cartridge includes toner of triboelectric charge properties different from the original toner.

主权项

1. A method of remanufacturing a non-magnetic toner cartridge associated with a first toner, the cartridge including a toner storage area, a toner supply roll, a development roll and a photosensitive drum, the method comprising:
a) refilling the toner storage area with a second toner, a triboelectric charge property associated with the second toner different from a triboelectric charge property associated with the first toner; and b) electrically connecting a resistor of a predetermined resistance between a toner supply roll contact and a development roll contact, the predetermined resistance of the resistor associated with a relative difference of the triboelectric charge properties associated with the first toner and second toner, wherein the resistor modifies an electric field between the toner supply roll and development roll during a use of the toner cartridge during an electrostatic process.
