Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?

Question by magical me: Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?
I need a high voltage low rpm pmdc motor.. are they used in xerox machine (coz i happened to read this somewhere on the net)?? If not, where else are they used?

Best answer:

Answer by billrussell42
I doubt it, but there are many thousands of different models made by Xerox Corp. and I doubt even an engineer working at Xerox knows what kind of motors were used in each and every one of those tens of thousands.

There are lots of PM DC motors around, but mostly they are low voltage models. There is no reason to design a high voltage unit unless very high power is required, and high power motors are not PM DC motors.

(I interpret “high voltage” as over 500 volts)

Why are heated rollers used in photocopy machines?

Question by Sez1o1: Why are heated rollers used in photocopy machines?
In relation with static electricity, why are heated rollers used in photo copy machines?

Best answer:

Answer by Daniel
Essentially, a copier “paints” the photoreceptor drum or belt with static electricity, creating a patch of positively charged images of letters surrounded by negatively charged areas that will remain white.

Once the image of the document has been statically “painted” on the drum or belt, the copying system covers the plate with a negatively-charged black powder called toner. Wherever the toner particles find positively-charged areas on the photoreceptor, they will stick like the pepper flakes on a statically-charged comb. The toner will not stick to the negatively-charged areas of the belt or drum, so those areas will remain white.

After the toner particles have settled into the positively-charged areas, a sheet of paper is introduced above the photoreceptor. A Corona wire passes over this paper to give it a positive charge. The toner particles are transferred to the charged paper and now resemble the image of the original document. The toner is still in the form of a loose powder, however, so the new copy is pressed through a set of heated rollers known as a fuser. The heat of the fuser melts the toner into the paper permanently.

It is not bad to be around copy machines, but chemicals (like bleach, and getting your hair done) are not good for the baby.

I have two Xerox printing machines for my business. Is there any computer software or a coin machine I can use?

Question by : I have two Xerox printing machines for my business. Is there any computer software or a coin machine I can use?
I have other services at my business and I need to know how to have customers use the copier without my help so that I can spend more time working other services. Is there any cards that i can give out to customers so that they can swipe for copies?Is there a way to add a debit card to my machines?

Best answer:

Answer by Irene Z
Actually no. Neither can you trust customers to be honest. But I do know that it is tedious to do such thing, so get the cheapest manpower you can find – students/whatever, station them to handle the machine and record the sales and collect the money.

Every Xerox comes with a click charge number, so you will actually know at the end of the day whether the amount collected tallies with the copies made.

Copy Machines Can Store Your Private Info Robert Siciliano www.IDTheftSecurity.com

The dangers of identity theft are well-publicized. Most modern copy machines today have hard drives in them. Whenever a digital image is scanned into the memory and controlled according to the user’s personal choice, it will be all set to get printed. Remember though that once you get done with the copy or print work, the information in those documents is kept by the copier’s hard drive through the use of images. That is why copiers can get your private information even without your permission. Watch this information to know some more.
