A two-component development unit for an electrophotographic printer includes a rotatable donor roll having a plurality of longitudinal electrodes along its circumference. A magnetic structure within the donor roll permits two-component developer to be advanced to a development zone. Adjacent electrodes on the donor roll are AC biased to create a powder cloud of toner from the developer in the development zone. The magnetic structure is arranged to provide pole effects substantially immediately downstream and upstream of the development zone in the direction of motion of the donor roll.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 27, 1994 and granted November 23, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 27, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 27, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
