B. Controlling the Intensity of
the Scanning Lamp
1. Outline
Figure 3-306 shows the circuit that controls the
intensity of the scanning lamp, and the circuit has
the following functions:
q
Turns ON and OFF the scanning lamp.
w
Controls the intensity of the scanning lamp.
•
It serves to keep the intensity at a specific
level in the presence of fluctuations in the
power supply voltage.
•
It controls the intensity to a level suited to
the changes in the drum sensitivity.
•
It controls the intensity to a level suited to
the setting of the Copy Density key.
•
It controls the intensity to suit the density of
originals (AE control).
e
It detects the activation of the scanning lamp.
r
It switches lamps.
2. Operation
a. Turning ON and OFF the Scanning Lamp
When LRD (scanning lamp ON signal) is ‘0’,
the output of the differential amplifier circuit and
the phase control circuit goes ‘0’, thereby keeping
the arc circuit from turning on, depriving the scan-
ning lamp (LA1) of power.
When LRD is ‘1’, on the other hand, the output
of the differential amplifier circuit and the phase
control circuit goes ‘1’, turning ON the arc circuit,
supplying the scanning lamp (LA1) with power.
b. Controlling the Intensity of the Scanning
Lamp
The intensity to the scanning lamp is
increased/decreased by controlling the supply
voltage to the scanning lamp according to the
level of the intensity adjustment signal (LINT)
from the DC controller PCB.
