Theory of Operation 2-25
â– There is a developer problem either with the housing or the amount of beads
in the developer.
ADC Sensor
The sensor in this figure is the Automatic Density Control (ADC) sensor. It is located
on the MOB Sensor Assembly.
To control image quality, this sensor looks at patches that are developed onto the
accumulator belt at various times.
Data from the ADC sensor is used to:
â– Adjust the intensity of each laser in the ROS.
â– Set the look up table for Tone Reproduction Curve (TRC).
â– Determine amount of toner to add to developer (triggered by ATC sensor).
