F. Controlling Separation Charging
1. Outline
The separation mechanism is controlled for the following:
[1] DC bias constant current
[2] AC bias constant current
[3] output correction to suit the environment and deposit of toner (fuzzy control)
[4] output correction upon detection of leakage
Figure 6-313 shows the construction of the control system for the separation charging mecha-
nism.

SPDC-CNT
The level of the DC bias varied to suit the
SPDC-CNT potential.
When an overcurrent
or an under current is
detected, '1'.
A voltage input between 0 and 12 V, used to control
the current level of the separation bias.
When '1', high-
