Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0188616A2] An electrophotographic marking machine and associated marking engine control configured to permit a process isolation in the electrophotographic process. The process isolation allows a controlled termination of the electrophotographic process at any point under control of the marking engine controller. The controlled termination is done to preclude the influence of an emergency or hard stop.
[origin: WO0188616A2] An electrophotographic marking machine (10) and electrophotographic process wherein the machine (10) has a logic and control unit (24) programmed to complete a print mode operation wherein an image recording member such as a belt (18) is moved past a series of workstations in a print mode operation, the control unit (24) being configured to permit a process isolation that interrupts the print mode operation of the machine (10) without causing a hard stop of the machine. The controller (24) is further configured to allow the restart of the interrupted print mode operation from the point of stoppage so the interrupted print mode can be completed.
