                    a self-cross-linked polyvinyl butyral (PVB)                       
                    binder for OPC's                                                  

          (page 9, line 3-4; see also Finding 7) was amended to read

                    a continuous, non-porous self-cross-linked                        
                    polyvinyl butyral (PVB) binder for OPC's.                         

                    23. The language                                                  
                    The photoconductor 2 may be single- or dual-layered               

          (specification, page 12, line 15; see also Finding 13) was

                    The continuous, non-porous photoconductor 2                       
                    may be single- or dual-layered.
