2 Controlling the Primary Charging Roller Bias
2.1 Outline

Part 2>Chapter 5>4.4 “Controlling the Primary Charging Roller Bias”

The machine’s primary charging is a direct charging method that uses a charging roller. In

addition to a DC bias, the charging roller is subjected to an AC bias to ensure stable charg-

ing.

The following items relate to the control of primary charging:

[1] Turning on/off the bias.

[2] Controlling the DC bias to a specific level of voltage.

[3] Controlling the AC bias to a specific level of current.

[4] Controlling the photosensitive drum resistance detection mechanism (APVC control).

[5] Controlling the AC bias based on the readings of the environment sensor (humidity) and

the soft counters.

[6] Controlling the DC bias based on the reading of the drum sensor (temperature).

Memo

The primary charging output enable signal is used as the AC pulse ON sig-

nal when the developing bias is being controlled.
