Various Controls
■ Overview
Item
Laser ON / OFF control
Laser light is turned ON / OFF according to the combination of
laser control signal
Horizontal scanning
To align the writing start position in horizontal scanning direction.
synchronous control
Vertical scanning synchronous
To align the writing start position in vertical scanning direction.
control
Image Mask Control
This control prevents the laser beam from being emitted in non-
image area to avoid the Secondary transfer outer Roller from
getting dirt.
Laser scanner motor control
To rotate the scanner mirror by the specified speed.
APC control
To make the laser light per 1 line consistent amount
BD correction control
To correct the gap BD timing gap due to the angle variation of
Scanner Mirror.
