[4] M5 (polygon) Control
M5 (polygon) is driven by the PMDB (polygon driver board),
and is controlled by the CB (control board).
1. Operation
a. M5 is a 3-phase brushless DC motor which is driven
using a 3-phase bipolar method. The current flowing
through the windings is switched according to the
position of the rotor which is detected by a sensor
(magnetic sensor) inside the motor.
This motor rotates the polygon mirror, causing the laser
beams from LDB1 and 2 (laser diode boards 1 and 2) to
be scanned in the axial direction of the drum. The speed
of the motor is maintained constant by PLL control.
b. M5 is powered by 40 V DC. The rotational speed is as
follows.
Rotational speed
High speed (21,850rpm)
One of the following four speeds can
be selected using the "25" mode.
• 21,850 rpm *
• 14,000 rpm *
• 11,024 rpm *
• 8,000 rpm *
• Stop *

from the end of the copy process. The specified time can
be selected using the "25" mode among below.
