b. Turning On and Off the AC Bias

The AC bias applied to the primary charging roller is turned on and off by the serial communi-

cation signal from the DC controller PCB.

When the AC bias ON signal arrives from the DC controller PCB, the microprocessor (Q900)

on the composite power supply PCB generates the AC bias output signal (PAC_OUT), thereby

applying an AC bias to the primary charging roller.

c. Controlling the DC/AC Bias to a Specific Voltage/Current

The DC bias and the AC bias applied to the primary charging roller are controlled by the

microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply PCB so that they remain a specific level.

When a DC/AC bias is generated, the microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply

PCB detects the DC voltage monitor signal (PDC_S) and the AC component current monitor signal

(PAC_S), compares their levels against the reference levels, and varies the DC bias control signal

(PDC_PWM) and the AC bias output signal (PAC_OUT) according to the differences so as to

ensure that they remain specific levels.

Reference:

The DC bias control signal varies its pulse duty ratio while the AC bias output signal varies its

amplitude to change the level of the DC/AC bias.

2. Operations

a. Turning On and Off the DC Bias

The DC bias applied to the primary charging roller is turned on or off by the serial communica-

tion signal and the primary charging bias ON signal (PR_DC_ON) from the DC controller PCB.

When the Copy Start key is pressed, the DC bias ON signal (serial) and the primary charging

bias ON signal (PR_DC_ON) are sent. The microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply

PCB generates the DC bias control signal (PDC_PWM) based on the combination of the serial

signal and the PR_DC_ON signal, applying a DC bias to the primary charging roller.
