The primary charging bias is created to charge the photosensitive drum surface with even minus electric potential as a preparation for image formation.
The primary charging bias provides two types of biases; primary charging DC bias and grid DC bias.
These biases are created in the high voltage PCB 1 based on an instruction by the DC controller, and applied to the primary charging wire and grid line at a specified
timing.
The grid bias value is determined based on the result of electric potential control.
