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 14):
The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:\n operate a motor, coupled to the rollers through a gearing arrangement which rotates the squeegee roller at a slower surface speed than the developer roller, to drive the developer roller at a development process speed while the voltage sources are set to the development voltages, wherein the developer roller has a coating to develop a latent image on an adjacent photoconductor; and operate the motor to drive the developer roller at a reduced speed, slower than the development process speed, after the voltage sources have been set to the drying voltages, so as to inhibit damage to the coating by the squeegee roller when the squeegee nip is dry.
