Model Based Development in Electrophotographic Technology

Abstract

The framework and features of MBD (model based development) in electrophotographic technology were introduced based on the understanding of SE (systems engineering) and the framework of MBD in automobiles. In electrophotographic technology, in addition to examining each basic processes using its framework and functional models, it is necessary to consider the influence between functions due to the technical feature that functions are connected in a complicated manner. In order to aim at overall optimization in the system using electrophotographic technology, it is important to study and understand the influence between functions using functional models.
