Scanner Motor Control; Apc (Auto Power Control) - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 715iF III Series Service Manual

Scanner Motor Control

Purpose
Rotates the Scanner Motor at a specific speed.
Execution timing
At power-on, and at printing
Control description
The Scanner Motor rotation speed is controlled by the DC Controller PCB.
1. The DC Controller PCB outputs Scanner Motor control signals (acceleration signals and deceleration signals) to the Scanner
Motor to rotate the Polygon Mirror.
2. The DC Controller PCB stabilizes the Scanner Motor rotation speed, referring to the motor's rotation speed signals.
(From when the Scanner Motor starts rotation until it reaches the target revolutions and the machine starts image formation
process)
3. When laser beams are emitted at image formation, the DC Controller PCB detects the BD signal.
4. The DC Controller PCB controls the Scanner Motor control signals (acceleration signals and deceleration signals) based on
the input timing of the BD signal to control the Scanner Motor rotation speed.
