The laser control is to allow the laser driver to turn the laser diode ON/OFF according to the laser control signals sent from the DC controller.
There are two laser driver PCBs: one is for M/C and the other is for Y/Bk. The configurations of both PCBs are identical.
In the case of the laser driver for M/C
F-6-2
The DC controller sends the following signals to each laser driver IC (IC1, IC2).
- video signals (VDO, /VDO) for the image formation
- laser control signals (CTRL 0 to 2) for switching the operational mode of the laser driver circuit
- laser light intensity switch signal (LDPWRH) for switching the laser light intensity
The laser driver IC controls the laser according to the combination of the laser control signals.
