摘要:
A method of compensating for image quality controls a tone reproduction curve (TRC). The toner reproduction curve TRC null(k) measured by a color toner density sensor is compared with a target TRC nullR to obtain a deviation nullnull. A variation nullVB of a developer bias VB is calculated from a Jacobian matrix (JB) of a measured developer bias VB to calculate a new developer bias VBN and determining a measured grid voltage VG as a new grid voltage VGN if the deviation (nullnull) is greater than a tolerance nullnullT. A backplating vector VBP is obtained from the grid voltage VGN and the developer bias VBN. The backplating vector VBP is compared with a critical value VT to set control parameters VGN and VBN and control the TRC null. Thus, noise effects on the image quality are minimized to provide an output image closest to an input image quality so as to improve the image quality.
摘要:
A method of controlling a charging potential of an organic photoconductive cell (OPC) includes a first operation of applying two charging voltages Vc1 and Vc2 having respective duties D1 and D2 established in an engine controller unit (ECU) to a conductive roller via a high voltage power supply (HVPS) to charge the OPC, a second operation of measuring sensing voltages Vs1 and Vs2 through a sensing resistor Rs coupled to the conductive roller so that the ECU establishes a target charging current It and calculates a new charging voltage Vc3 and a new duty D3, a third operation of applying the new charging voltage Vc3 and the new duty D3 to the conductive roller via the HVPS to charge the OPC and measuring a charging current Ic3 of the conductive roller, and a fourth operation of comparing a difference between the charging current Ic3 of the conductive roller and the target charging current It with a tolerance value TOL to control the charging potential by using the target charging current when the difference is smaller than the tolerance value TOL. The method maintains the charging potential by compensating for a residual potential of the OPC, thus improving a performance of a printer.
