4 Controlling the Transfer Charging Roller Bias
4.1 Outline
The machine uses a charging roller for charging (direct charging method), and it applies
a DC bias to the transfer charging roller.
The machine’s transfer charging mechanism is controlled for the following:
[1] turning on and off the bias.
[2] controlling the DC bias to a specific voltage/current level.
[3] correcting the voltage level (ATVC control)
The following shows the system used to control the transfer charging mechanism:
