4.3 Controlling the Developing Bias
The system used to control the developing bias serves the following functions:
[1] Controlling the DC bias to a specific level of voltage.
[2] Controlling the AC bias to a specific level of voltage.
F04-403-01
The following signals are used:
[1] developing DC bias current control signal; if about 3 V or higher and lower than 11 V,
the output of developing DC bias current turns ON; if about 12 V or higher, it turns
OFF.
[2] developing DC bias remote signal; turns on/off the output of developing DC bias cur-
rent.
