Abstract

A method of controlling an electrophotographic imaging process wherein a two-component developer is mixed and activated to obtain a uniform distribution and triboelectric charging of the toner, by interruption of the process and carrying out extra activation and mixing cycles as a function of image area coverage and/or distribution of the image over the image field.
