PHOTOACTIVE DEVICE FOR XEROGRAPHY

PHOTOACTIVE DEVICE FOR XEROGRAPHY There is provided a system and apparatus for carrying out xerographic functions while minimizing development and cleaning problems commonly associated with the photoreceptor surface and while maintaining excellent photoconductor efficiency and flex. A plate, screen or axially rotatable drum is arranged in at least partial temporary contact with a removable charge- or hole-conductive matrix and includes a base having at least one externally applied charge- or hole-generating photoconductive coat. Electrostatic charging means are arranged in charging relation to the free surface of the matrix. The charge- or hole-generating photoconductive coat is image-wise-exposed while in contact with the matrix, and means are provided for developing or transferring and developing the resulting image.
