Abstract

In one example, an electrostatic printer includes: a photoconductor member; a charging unit to charge the photoconductor member to a charged voltage; an imaging unit to generate a latent electrostatic image on the photoconductor member by discharging areas of the charged photoconductor member; a developer unit to develop a toner image on the photoconductor member using a developer voltage; and a controller to change the developer voltage and to change the charged voltage dependent on the change of the developer voltage to keep the difference between the developer voltage and the charged voltage constant.
