OPERATIONS AND TIMING 2. Operation To measure the density of an original, the scanning lamp is turned on at a specific intensity to expose the original during initial rotation with the scanner at the home position. The light reflected by the area shown in Figure 3-317 is checked by the AE sensor (photodi- ode), whose output is amplified and sent to the microprocessor on the DC controller PCB as the AE signal. The microprocessor on the DC controller PCB checks the AE signal four times, and averages the measurements to compute the developing DC bias which best matches the averaged density of the original; it then sends the developing DC bias signal and the developing DC bias on signal to the microprocessor on the composite power supply PCB. The microprocessor on the composite power supply PCB generates the developing DC bias control signal (DCBPWM) based on the value of the DC bias. 20 mm 28 mm (approx.) (approx.)
