The photoconductor drum is subject to mechanical stress by the cleaning blade to reduce the thickness of the OPC layer. The photoconductor is also subject to optical stress. These stresses reduce the photo sensitivity of the photoconductor drum, producing background copying on copy papers. To avoid this, the copy lamp voltage may be changed to adjust the copy density. In this model, to reduce the number of service calls, the reduction in the photo sensitivity of the photoconductor drum is corrected by in­creasing the copy lamp voltage automatically.
SHARP CORPORATION Reprography Division
When a new photoconductor is installed, the drum rotating time is counted by the timer, which counts up every 4.4 hours (the count can be checked with TC44-9 DMRNCT), and correction of the copy lamp voltage is performed. (Refer to Fig.3).
This correction is valid in all the copy modes. The correction is performed until 133 hours of drum rotating time, within the range of the max. supply voltage of the copy lamp.
When the photoconductor is replaced with a new one, the photocon­ductor drum correction counter must be reset by test command 24-7.
