C. Controlling the Development Bias

1. Outline

Figure 4-204 shows the circuit used to control the development bias; the circuit has the following functions:

•turns on and off the AC component of the development bias

•turns on and off the DC component of the development bias

•controls the voltage level of the DC component of the development bias

•controls the DC component of the development bias to a constant level

2.Turning On and Off the DC Component of the Developing Bias and Controlling the Voltage to a Constant Level

The microprocessor (Q512) on the composite power supply PCB generates the

BPWM signal (pulse signal) under the control of the microprocessor master (Q301) on the DC controller PCB. In response, the secondary side of the main transformer (T101) turns on to apply the DC component of the development bias.

In addition, while the DC component of the development bias is being applied, the application voltage is taken in from the development DC bias voltage detection circuit in the form of the BIASS signal (analog signal) to exert control so that the output voltage is maintained at a constant level.

The main transformer (T101) is driven by the drive signal (MPWM) from the microprocessor (Q512). In addition to the foregoing functions, the main transformer (T101) is also used as the high-voltage transformer for the DC power supply and other loads.
