c. Switching the DC Bias Level
The machine changes the level of its DC bias according to the following: copying image area,
sheet-to-sheet distance, and image trailing edge margin. In addition, it is also switched while a
cleaning bias is applied by the transfer roller, during which the primary charging roller applies a
negative DC bias to prevent the photosensitive drum from being charged to a positive potential.
The level of the DC bias is switched by the DC bias ON signal (serial) from the DC controller
PCB. In response to this signal, the microprocessor (Q900) on the composite power supply PCB
changes the DC bias control signal (PDC_PWM) to switch the level of the DC bias applied to the
primary charging roller. (See Table 4-102.)
