KX-P7100

4.4.9.Laser Scanning Unit Control Circuit

The laser unit consists of laser drive circuit and scanner motor drive circuit.

Laser control signals are as follows.

nVIDEO:

This is actual data being printed.

nLDON:

When the nLDON signal is low, the laser unit is activated.

 

When front door is opened, the laser unit is deactivated.

nHSYNC:

This is a horizontal synchronizing signal sent from a timing sensor ( laser beam detect sensor )

 

which detects horizontal position of the laser beam across drum.

nADJUST:

When the nADJUST signal is low, APC ( Auto Power Control ) is activated.

nSNRCTL:

This is a control signal for the scanner motor.

nSNRLD:

The scanner motor speed is maintained at approx. 20K rpm by a PLL ( Phase Locked Loop ).

 

While the scanner motor rotates ( approx. 20K rpm ), nSNRLD is low.

nSNRCLK:

This is a reference clock of the scanner motor ( approx. 2KHz ).
