Technology trends in electrophotography

Selected innovations and advances in electrophotographic printing are reviewed. Technological advances in photoreceptors, imaging techniques, toner development and cleaning, fusing, sensors, and new machine configurations and functions are discussed with respect to their possible applicability to future electrophotographic imaging systems. In general, improvements in print quality and reliability remain the main goals. In specific applications, added functions and an increased range of usable media are highly desired.
