2. Operations
When measuring the density of an original, the scanner turns on the scanning lamp, and moves
to a point 115 mm from the home position. At this time, the AE sensor reads the level of light
reflected by the area shown in Figure 4-112, and sends the AE signal (AE) to the DC controller
PCB.
In response, the DC controller PCB sends the developing DCON signal (serial communica-
tion) to the composite power supply PCB according to the level of the AE signal. The microproces-
sor (Q900) on the composite power supply PCB controls the level of the DC bias applied to the
developing cylinder based on the level of this signal.
