Pre-exposure
●
Pre-exposure control
Removing residual potential on the photosensitive drum before executing the primary
charging prevents drum ghost during continuous print.
According to the command from the DC controller PCB, the pre-exposure unit exposes (emits)
LED when the photosensitive drum is rotated.
Emitting LED light through the light guide removes residual potential on the photosensitive
drum.
To make up for the lack of LED’s light intensity, two (2) pre-exposure LEDs are used in total:
one at the front of the main unit, and the other at the rear of the main unit.
