2. Controlling the Transfer Current
Figure 3-555 shows the circuit that controls the transfer current, and the circuit has the following
functions:
• Turns on and off the transfer current.
• Controls the transfer current.
Pulse oscillator circuit
OC
The transfer current is turned on and off by the transfer current drive signal (HVT-Y, HVT-M, HVT-C,
HVT-Bk) as follows:
Input in the range of HVTR-Y=0V to 12V
Q1 turns on, and a drive voltage suited to the voltage level of HVTR-Y is sent to the transformer.
The output of transfer current is monitored by its current value, and the data is fed back to the transistor
Q1. The feedback signal is used to control the transformer drive voltage, thereby maintaining the transfer
current at a specific level.
If an abnormally high voltage occurs, because of passage of the edge of paper for example, and
overcurrent is detected, the OC signal forces Q1 OFF to stop the supply of the transformer drive voltage for
20 msec; the supply will return automatically thereafter.
Further, with the help of the environment sensor, the current value is corrected each time the Start key
is pressed.
