  • Page 18 (4) OPC drum sensitivity reduction correction (New) (After use) In the AR-5132, deterioration of copy quality is prevented by correc- Wear tion with the charging grid voltage against the potential reduction of the OPC drum due to repeated use. The drum wear increases the grid voltage to maintain the drum sur- face potential at a constant level, and the apparent sensitivity of the OPC drum is decreased.
  • Page 19 The developing bias voltage is obtained from comparison with the standard patch density. In the AR-5132, toner patch images are formed at the same position on the OPC drum to improve accuracy of the process control. That is, a marking is provided on the drum, and the marking point is sensed and toner patch images are formed at a certain position.
