    G160 Service Manual 23-Feb-06 Process Control Overview This machine has the following two forms of process control: Potential control Toner supply control Process control uses the following components: Three ID (image density) sensors (left [A], center [B], and right [C]). Only the center ID sensor is used for process control.
  • Page 240 G160 Service Manual 23-Feb-06 : Drum potential at the strongest exposure – to adjust this, the machine adjusts the laser power. (Also, V is corrected. This is used for toner supply control.) This controls the development potential to make sure that the maximum quantity of toner applied to the drum is constant.
  • Page 241 G160 Service Manual 23-Feb-06 This starts before the next print job if the machine has no job for 6 hours. If the non-use time process control is done (N) times after the user turns on the power, it will not be done. N is adjusted with SP 3558.
  • Page 242: Toner Supply Control

    G160 Service Manual 23-Feb-06 Step 4: Toner Amount Calculation The quantity of toner on the transfer belt (M/A, mass per unit area, mg/cm ) is calculated for each of the 10 gradations of the sensor pattern. To do this, the machine uses the ID sensor output value from each gradation of the pattern.
  • Page 243 G160 Service Manual 23-Feb-06 2. Proportional control mode 1 (Pixel) This mode is used when the TD sensor becomes defective. Only the pixel count is used to control toner supply. The amount of toner supply can be adjusted with SP 3306 1 to 4. 3.
