CHAPTER 4 IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM 2. Turning On and Off the DC Bias The DC bias applied to the developing cylinder is turned on and off by the signal communica- tion signal and the developing DC bias ON signal (DV_DC_ON) generated by the DC controller PCB. When the developing DCON signal (serial signal) and the developing DC bias ON sign (DV_DC_ON) are generated by the DC controller PCB, the microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply PCB sends the DC bias control signal (BIAS_PWM), thereby applying a DC bias to the developing cylinder.

Turning On and Off the AC Bias The AC bias is turned on and off by the developing AC bias ON signal (DV_AC_ON) gener- ated by the DC controller PCB. The DC controller PCB sends the developing AC bias ON signal (DV_AC_ON) to the com- posite power supply PCB a specific period of time after copy paper has moved past the registration sensor. The microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply PCB generates the AC bias oscillation signal (ACBIAS) so that an AC bias is applied to the developing cylinder. The AC bias is modified/rectified and then supplied to the static eliminator (static eliminator bias, about 3.2 kV). COPYRIGHT © 1999 CANON INC.
