7. Control

7.1 Control of Paper Size

"ON/OFF of Paper Size Switch of SWITCH ASSY SIZE" and "Diag Tool indica tion data" are shown in the
table below.
Paper Size Switches are indicated as SW1, SW2, and SW3 from the ab ove one.

7.2 Selective Control on Paper Pick-up Unit

When not controlled by the printer controller, paper pick-up unit selected at the time of turning ON are as
follows.
The paper feeder by the paper tray under the printer is called "Tray 1", and the first tray
and the second tray in optional TRAY UNIT are called "Tray 2" and "Tray 3"
respectively.

7.3 ROS Light Quantity Control

The image data are entered to the laser diodes in the ROS ASSY as elec tric signals (data are expressed
with high and low voltage values), and the laser diodes convert the imag e data from electric signals to
optical signals (data are expressed with blinking laser beams).
Variations in light quantity of laser beams or variations in optical system (su ch as lenses) or drum sensitivity
cannot attain proper electrostatic image, and accordingly the laser diodes monitor the light quantity of laser
beams to control the light quantity so as to attain stable and proper elec trostatic image.
The ROS in this printer has four laser diodes for yellow, magenta, cyan, and black respectively , and the
light quantity is automatically adjusted for each color.
