If the machine is not equipped with a density correction switch (SW101), the image density
changes in AE mode according to how the density adjusting lever is set.
The machine corrects the level of the developing DC bias and the voltage supplied to the
scanning lamp as follows in reference to the setting used for normal copying when toner save mode
or photo mode is selected.

4. Controlling the Voltage Level of the Developing DC Bias
The DC bias control signal (BIAS_PWM) is varied according to the following settings to
change the DC component of the developing bias so as to control the copy density:
• Setting of the density adjusting lever (in manual adjustment mode)
• Output of the AE sensor (in automatic control mode)
• Setting of copy mode (toner save mode, photo mode)
• Setting of the density correction switch (SW101)
The density correction switch (SW101) mounted on the DC controller PCB may be set to any
of three levels, enabling correction of foggy images or light images caused as by a change in the
sensitivity of the photosensitive drum.
The density correction switch (SW101) affects both manual density adjustment and auto den-
sity adjustment (AE).
Table 4-105 Relationship between Copying Mode and Voltage Correction Level
Figures 4-109 through -112 show the changes in the DC bias occurring as a result of changes in
the output of the AE sensor during auto density correction and how the density adjusting lever is set
during manual density adjustment.
