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 11):
The printer of  claim 10 , wherein the multiple rollers include a developer roller having a coating to develop a latent image on a photoconductor adjacent the developer roller, and a squeegee roller adjacent the developer roller at a squeegee nip, comprising:\n a motor driving the multiple rollers through a gearing arrangement that enables the squeegee roller to rotate at a slower surface speed than the developer roller; and wherein the controller is further to operate the motor to rotate the developer roller at a printing process speed while the voltage sources are set to the development voltages, and at a reduced speed, slower than the printing process speed, after the voltage sources have been set to the drying voltages so as to inhibit scrubbing of the coating by the squeegee roller due to the slower surface speed when the squeegee nip is dry.
