■ Controlling the Intensity of Laser Light

● APC Control
The machine monitors the laser light that is emitted to the built-in photo diode of laser diode
and adjusts the laser to appropriate intensity.

■ Controlling the Laser Scanner Motor

● Controlling the Laser Scanner Motor
From when the laser scanner motor starts and the laser scanner motor reaches the number
of target rotation to before image formation starts, the machine controlsthe rotation speed by
referring to the laser scanner motor rotation speed signal (FG signal).
During image formation, it controls the laser scanner motor rotationspeed based on BD
signal.
Laser scanner motor rotation speed is controlled by speed-up signal (ACC signal) and speed-
down signal (DEC signal).
