Abstract

A xerographic developing device for depositing xerographic toner upon an image carrying medium without the use of toner carrier beads which includes an applicator roller for transferring toner from a tray towards the image carrying medium via a scraper element mounted at the exit opening of the tray. Improved regulation of the quantity of toner transferred in this manner is achieved by applying a DC-voltage potential between the applicator roller and the scraper.
