A developer unit for developing a latent image recorded on an image receiving member with marking particles, to form a developed image. The unit includes a donor member spaced from the image receiving member and adapted to transport marking particles to a development zone adjacent the image receiving member and an electrode positioned in the development zone between the image receiving member and the donor member. The developer unit also includes a biaser for electrically biasing the electrode with an alternating current having a frequency varying with time, so as to minimize natural frequency resonant vibrations of the electrode and to detach marking particles from the donor member forming a cloud of marking particles in the development zone with detached marking particles from the cloud of marking particles developing the latent image.
