CHAPTER 6 IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM
C. Controlling the Attraction Charging Mechanism and Transfer
Charging Current
1. Operations
The attraction charging / transfer charging mechanism has the following items of control:
1. The attraction charging mechanism is controlled to a contact current.
2. The transfer charging mechanism is controlled to a constant current.
3. The current is controlled to suit the type of paper and the reading of the environment
sensor.
The CPU PCB performs appropriate current control to suit the type of transfer medium
(regulator, thick, transparency) and the temperature and humidity readings from the
environment sensor.
Each of the signals is used for the following:
[1] HVATC (attraction charging current ON/OFF control signal)
When '1', the charging output is ready.
[2] HVATI (attraction charging current level control signal)
Controlled to +8 to +16 V; at +16 V or less, the high-voltage output is generated.
[3] HVTRC (transfer charging current ON/OFF control signal)
When '1', the charging output is ready.
[4] HVTRI (transfer charging current level control signal)
Controlled to +8 to 16 V; at +16 V, the high-voltage output is generated.
