I= OPERATIONS AND TIMING 2. Controlling the Scanning Lamp for Pre-Heating Pre-heating is controlled for the follow- ing: • before the scanning lamp turns on. • while the scanning lamp remains on. a. Controlling Pre-Heating before the Scanning Lamp Turns On When the Copy Start key is pressed, the microprocessor (O101) on the DC controller PCB sends the pre-heating voltage control signal (FLPRHT) to the pre-heating voltage control circuit on the composite power supply PCB. In response, the pre-heating voltage control circuit supplies 4 Vrms (effective value) to the filament of the scanning lamp. About 3 sec later, the microprocessor on the DC controller causes the pre-heating voltage control signal (FLPRHT) to go '0', to end the pre-heating operation executed before the scanning lamp turns on. b. Controlling Pre-Heating While the Scanning Lamp Remains On While the scanning lamp remains on, the microprocessor (O900) on the composite power supply PCB sends the duty ratio of the on control signal to the microprocessor (Q101) on the DC controller PCB. In response, the microprocessor (O101) on the DC controller sends the pre-heating control signal (FLPRHT) to the pre-heating voltage control circuit to execute pre-heating control suited to the duty ratio of the on control signal for pre-heating control. Reference: Activation of the Fluorescent Lamp The fluorescent lamp repeats turning on and off in specific cycles. While it is off, voltage is applied to its filament so that it will turn on smoothly, and the period during which such a voltage is being applied is called pre-heating period. 1 cycle n Off (pre-heating) Figure 3-305 The intensity of the fluorescent lamp changes within a single cycle depending on how long the lamp remains on: • longer on time E• higher intensity • shorter on time EP lower intensity The ratio of on time within a single cycle is called duty ratio, and may be expressed by the following formula: Duty ratio- ON time 1 cycle • higher duty ratioEl.increased intensity • lower duty ratio ',decreased intensity 3 - 20 COPYRIGHT © 1994 CANON INC.
