Abstract

An electrophotographic printing machine comprising: a photoconductive member having a path a movement through the plurality of xerographic stations, the photoconductive member including a segmented ground plane, the segmented ground plane being define into individual portions by insulating separation lines in the ground plane; and a grounding strip electrical connected each individual portions.

Claims (8)

1. An electrophotographic printing machine comprising:

a photoconductive member having a path a movement through said plurality of xerographic stations, said photoconductive member including a segmented ground plane, said segmented ground plane being defined into individual portions by insulating separation lines in said ground plane; and

a grounding strip electrical connected each individual portions.

2. The electrophotographic printing machine of claim 1 , wherein said photoconductive member includes a photosensitive layer comprises a charge generating layer and a charge transporting layer.

3. The electrophotographic printing machine of claim 1 , further comprising a biasing pad, in contact with said grounding strip associated with at least one of said xerographic process stations.

4. The electrophotographic printing machine of claim 3 , further comprising means for biasing said bias pad to generate a first predefined tailored field on the surface of photoconductive member at a region associated with at least one of said xerographic process stations.

5. The electrophotographic printing machine of claim 1 , wherein said insulating lines less than 20 microns apart.

6. The electrophotographic printing machine of claim 1 , wherein said insulating lines less than 10 microns apart.
