Dmax control is performed by the TCSB (toner
control sensor board), M2 (drum), M3 (develop-
ing), and so on. These parts are controlled by the
PRCB (printer control board). Related boards
and sensors are DPSB (drum potential sensor
board), DPS (drum potential sensor), and TH5
(drum temperature sensor).
When the front right or left door of this machine
opens or closes, MS1 (interlock 1) or MS2 (inter-
lock 2) operates to interrupt the DC power supply
to the motor, stopping the M2 and M3.

1. Operation
The purpose of Dmax control is to adjust the
maximum density to the reference level for each
machine.
a.
Dmax control
(1) Method
Latent images are created several times at the
maximum exposure level, images are developed
with the rotational speed of the developing
sleeve varied, then each density is read by the
Dmax sensor (PD1) on the TCSB.
The developing sleeve speed detected when the
density has reached the reference level is
recorded as the optimum sleeve speed and the
developing is performed at this optimum sleeve
rotation speed.
(2) Timing
a) When the fixing temperature is lower than
50°C at power ON.
b) At the end of job after every 20,000 copies.
