Abstract:
In one example, a method for drying a developer unit of a liquid electrophotographic printer. After printing is complete, development voltage biases are applied to the developer unit while a liquid marking agent flows to the developer unit. The liquid marking agent flow to the developer unit is stopped. Drying voltage biases, lower than the development voltage biases, are applied to the developer unit. Idle voltage biases are applied to the developer unit when dry.

Claim (Index 13):
A computer-readable storage medium having non-transitory processor-executable instructions thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:\n enable flow of charged ink to a developer roller disposed in a binary ink developer unit at a gap from an adjacent electrode and defining nips at adjacent squeegee and cleaner rollers; set plural voltage sources, each coupled to a different one of the rollers, to development voltages for a first time period to reduce marking agent residue at the nips and the gap; disable flow of the charged ink; and before the nips are dry, set the voltage sources to drying voltages lower than the development voltages for a second time to inhibit damage to a conductive rubber base of the developer roller.
