2.2.1 TONER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD
This machine has two toner supply control methods: fuzzy control mode, and fixed
supply mode.
Normally this machine uses fuzzy control. The fixed supply method is used only
when abnormal conditions occur during the process control self check.
2.2.2 FUZZY CONTROL MODE
First, the machine assesses the amount of toner per unit area on the drum (M/A).
This is determined from two sensor inputs: Vsg, and Vsp(toner).
The fuzzy logic algorithm then uses the most recent M/A values to assess current
toner density conditions.
The output from the fuzzy logic process is then combined with the image area ratio
obtained from the image data signal coming from the IPU board. The result of this
calculation is the amount of toner required, and from this, the machine determines
the time that the toner supply motor must stay on in order to supply the correct
amount of toner.
