Apparatus and method for measurement of the ratio of the triboelectric toner particle charge to the toner particle mass in electrostatographic apparatus. The ratio of the toner particle charge to the toner particle mass is determined by combining a measurement of the difference between the electrostatic photoreceptor potential in the presence and in the absence of charged toner particles with a measurement of a difference in optical reflectance in the presence and in the absence of charged toner particles. The measurement of the difference in the electrostatic potential of the photoreceptor provides a quantity proportional to the toner particle charge per unit area. The measurement of the …

Why it's free to use
- Granted December 2, 1980. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended December 2, 1997.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
