7.2 Controlling the Developing Bias
7.2.1 Outline
Both DC bias and AC bias are applied to the developing cylinder. The output is controlled
by the composite power supply PCB based on the control signal from the DC controller
PCB.
The following relate to the developing bias control system:
[1] Controlling the DC developing bias to a specific voltage level
[2] Controlling the AC developing bias to a specific voltage level
