Abstract

A method of compensating for toner cohesivity within a repository in a developer system by recording toner consumption rate and toner dispense rate over a given time within the developer system. A control responds to the toner consumption and dispense rates over the given time period to compute toner residence time in the repository and estimate a degree of toner cohesiveness. The control then projects an adjustment to the development voltage to suppress the effects of toner cohesivity.
