Operating Principles EPL-N1200 Service Manual 2.1.2.5 Bias Voltages and Laser Drive Timing Figure 2-21 is a diagram of the drum charge bias voltage, image transfer bias voltage, doctor blade bias voltage, and the developing bias voltage control circuit. These bias voltages are generated from the +24 VDC from the high-voltage supply board (HV1). If the printer detects the top cover open condition, the interlock switch is set to OFF, which cuts the +24 VDC, which, in turn, cuts the bias voltages. These bias voltages are controlled by the engine controller board (PWB-A). The HV-T signal is the image transfer (roller) bias voltage control. While this signal is LOW, the image transfer roller is charged to 3.2K VDC by the high-voltage supply circuit. And while this signal is HIGH, the image transfer roller is charged to -0.8K VDC. The HV-CT.R signal controls the drum charge. While this signal is LOW, the PC drum is charged to -1.2K VDC. The HV-B.VR signal is an analog signal for developing bias voltage control. This signal controls the bias voltage level (-175 V to -375 VDC) using analog data. The image density is controlled by the developing bias voltage level.

2.1.2.5
Bias Voltages and Laser Drive Timing
Figure 2-21 is a diagram of the drum charge bias voltage, image transfer bias voltage, doctor blade
bias voltage, and the developing bias voltage control circuit.
These bias voltages are generated
from the +24 VDC from the high-voltage supply board (HV1).
If the printer detects the top cover
open condition, the interlock switch is set to OFF, which cuts the +24 VDC, which, in turn, cuts the
bias voltages.
These bias voltages are controlled by the engine controller board (PWB-A). The
HV-T signal is the
image transfer (roller) bias voltage control.
While this signal is LOW, the image transfer roller is
charged to 3.2K VDC by the high-voltage supply circuit.
And while this signal is HIGH, the image
transfer roller is charged to –0.8K VDC.
The
HV-CT.R signal controls the drum charge. While this
signal is LOW, the PC drum is charged to –1.2K VDC.
The
HV-B.VR signal is an analog signal for developing bias voltage control.
This signal controls the
bias voltage level (–175 V to –375 VDC) using analog data. The image density is controlled by the
developing bias voltage level.
There is a three position
slide switch on the PWB-S board. The switch can select one of three
image transfer bias current values. The standard position is M.
If
the printer is used in an environment with high temperature and high humidity and an image
transfer problem occurs, especially with small size of paper, it is recommended that the switch be
positioned at H.
If
the printer is used in an environment with low temperature and low humidity and a toner smear
problem occurs at the age of the transparency sheets, it is recommended that the switch be
positioned at L
