CHAPTER 4 IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM
3.6 Controlling Separation Charging
3.6.1 Outline
The system used to control separation charging serves the following functions:
1. Controlling the DC bias to a specific level of current.
2. Controlling the AC bias to a specific level of voltage.
3. Corrects the output to suit the environment and the density of the original used (sur-
face potential of the drum; fuzzy control).
The system used to control separation charging is constructed as follows:
