Operations; Controlling The Intensity Of The Scanning Lamp (Vr604) - Canon PC400 Service Manual

CHAPTER 3 EXPOSURE SYSTEM
B. Operations
1. Turning the Scanning Lamp ON and OFF
• Square waves of the LAPWM command corresponding to the output of the amplifi
er circuit are generated to the lamp driver circuit. (Q143 ON)
Current flows into the filament of the lamp, causing the fluorescent lamp to go
ON at high frequency.
2. Controlling the Intensity of the Scanning Lamp
• If the intensity of the lamp is low when the lamp goes ON,
Initial power of the intensity sensor PD601 is low.
Output voltage of the amplifier circuit is high.
• If the intensity of the lamp is high when the lamp goes ON,
Initial power of the intensity sensor PD601 is high.
Output voltage of the amplifier circuit is low.
• If the microprocessor finds out that the scanning lamp has remained on for 2 min
at such times as not prescribed, it activates the self diagnostic mechanism; the
results are indicated by 'E6' for the PC420/430/FC220 and 'JAM' for the
PC400/FC200.
C. Controlling the Intensity of the Scanning Lamp (VR604)
You must adjust the intensity of the lamp if you have replaced the scanning lamp
unit, intensity sensor or control panel PCB; see p.10-6.
Note:
You must adjust the AE mechanism after adjusting the intensity.

Duty ratio (H) of the output of the microprocessor (LAPWM com
mand) grows high.
Current flowing to the lamp increases.
Duty ratio (H) of the output of the microprocessor (LAPWM com
mand) grows low.
Current flowing to the lamp decreases.
