12.7 High-Voltage Transformer Output Control Circuit

Developer bias is supplied from high-voltage power supply to the developer sleeve and the toner image on the developer sleeve is transferred onto the photoconductive drum.

A color developer bias and a black developer bias are output separately.

Each developer bias consists of DC and AC which has an independent ON/OFF control. At DC, D/A converter adjusts the level of output value in both color and black modes since each mode has a different control condition.

Outputs adjustment value of the developer bias (DC) in the NVRAM to the main processor.

Outputs control voltage data from the main CPU to the D/A converter.

Analog conversion by the D/A converter.

Outputs control voltage Vc to the developer bias transformer.

The developer bias transformer generates output voltage proportional to the control voltage Vc by ON- signed.

*Adjustment of the control voltage Vc (change of adjustment data) is performed in the adjustment mode.
