ABSTRACT:
Imaging methods, image engines, and photoconductor charging systems are described. According to one embodiment, an imaging method includes providing a charge device configured to provide an electrical charge to a surface of an imaging member which is usable for imaging, moving a surface of the charge device adjacent to the imaging member and a bias member, during the moving, first charging a discharged portion of the surface of the charge device using the bias member providing a charged portion of the surface of the charge device, during the moving, second charging a portion of the surface of the imaging member using the charged portion of the charge device, the second charging providing the discharged portion of the surface of the charge device, and repeating the first charging and the second charging during the moving.
