AIDC Sensor and Erase Lamp

Automatic Image Density Control (AIDC)
The AIDC sensor detects the image density of the AIDC mark
formed by toner on the PC Drum to determine proper charging bias
and developing bias. The sensor is located on the AIDC/erase lamp
board (PWB-C) on top of the image transfer belt. AIDC detection is
accomplished with one LED (LED1) and two photo sensors (PT1,
PT2).
