E. Controlling the Blanking Exposure Lamp (LED)
1. Outline
The blanking exposure lamp is a LED array consisting of 134 LEDs.
All 134 LEDs turns on when the blanking exposure lamp activation signal (BLKON)
generated by the DC controller goes '0' while the drum is rotating but the original is not
exposed, potential control is not on, and AE mode is off so as to prevent adhesion of
excess toner to the photosensitive drum.
The six LEDs at the rear and the six LEDs at the front are turned on at all times.
2. Controlling the Activation in Reduce Mode
When the original is exposed in Reduce mode, as many LEDs (rear) as suited to the
selected reproduction ratio are turned on to remove the image in the non-image area.
Some LEDs at the front are also turned on at this time to suit the size of the copy
paper.
3. Controlling the Activation in Direct Mode
When the original is exposed in Direct mode, as many LEDs as suited at both front
and rear are turned on to remove the image in the non-image area.
When a default-size copy paper is used to make a default-size copy or in Direct
mode, a non-image width (Table 4-105) is created at both rear and front (standard frame
erasing).
The non-image width may be set to 0 mm in service mode.
4. Controlling the Activation in Sheet Frame Erase Mode
LEDs are turned on so as to prevent adhesion of toner in widths of about 7 mm
around the edges of the copy paper in sheet frame erase mode. The width remains the
same regardless of the selected reproduction ratio.
Reference:
When using the multifeeder, you may specify a copy paper size or 'free': if you
specify a size, frame erasing will be executed to suit the size; if you select 'free', on
the other hand, frame erasing will be executed using the maximum size (297
mm).
