High-Voltage Transformer Output Control Circuit - Toshiba e-studio3511, e-studio4511 Manual

12.7 High-Voltage Transformer Output Control Circuit

Developer bias is supplied from high-voltage power supply to the developer sleeve and the toner image
on the developer sleeve is transferred onto the photoconductive drum.
A color developer bias and a black developer bias are output separately.
Each developer bias consists of DC and AC which has an independent ON/OFF control. At DC, D/A
converter adjusts the level of output value in both color and black modes since each mode has a different
control condition.

• Outputs adjustment value of the developer bias (DC) in the NVRAM to the main processor.
↓
• Outputs control voltage data from the main CPU to the D/A converter.
↓
• Analog conversion by the D/A converter.
↓
• Outputs control voltage Vc to the developer bias transformer.
↓
• The developer bias transformer generates output voltage proportional to the control voltage Vc by ON-
signed.
* Adjustment of the control voltage Vc (change of adjustment data) is performed in the adjustment
mode.
