Abstract:
A development device includes components such as a housing, a magnetic roll in the housing that moves marking material in the housing, a donor roll in the housing that is positioned to receive the marking material from the magnetic roll, a manifold in the housing, etc. The manifold has a manifold opening positioned to create airflow from the surface of the donor roll. Further, such structures include a seal over the manifold opening. The seal is a component that has a planar linear surface with seal openings that are aligned with the manifold opening. The edge of the housing adjacent the manifold opening is a first distance from the magnetic roll and the edge of the seal is a second, closer distance from the magnetic roll.

Claim (Index 1):
A development device comprising:\n a housing; a magnetic roll in the housing moving marking material in the housing; a donor roll in the housing positioned to receive the marking material from the magnetic roll; a manifold in the housing, wherein the manifold has a manifold opening positioned to create airflow from a surface of the donor roll; and a seal over the manifold opening, wherein the seal comprises a flat rectangular component having front and back planar linear surfaces ending at edges, wherein the seal has seal openings through the front and back planar linear surfaces aligned with the manifold opening, wherein a first edge of the housing adjacent the manifold opening is a first distance from the magnetic roll and a second edge of the edges of the seal is a second distance from the magnetic roll that is less than the first distance, and wherein the second edge of the seal is positioned to form a consistent gap to the magnetic roll equal to the second distance.
