7-1. AlDC Sensor
To provide image stabilization control, this copier has AlDC Sensor PWB-G fitted to
the Cleaning Unit of the Imaging Unit. The sensor is used to detect the toner density
and background level on the PC Drum.
Operation
1: The PWB-G LED projects approx. 950-nm infrared light onto the surface of the PC
Drum.
2: The PWB-G phototransistor detects the amount of light reflected back.
3: The phototransistor outputs a voltage corresponding to the intensity of the light
reflected back.
