2.4 Temperature Correction of the DC Bias
When the temperature inside the machine increases, the resistance of the photosensitive
drum will decrease, thereby lowering the charging characteristics. To ensure a stable poten-
tial level, the drum sensor (U701) mounted to the rear side plate is used to check the tem-
perature inside the machine; when the temperature increases, the absolute value of the DC
bias level is increased.

2.5 Humidity Correction of the AC Bias
The current level of the AC bias needs to be kept on the higher side to prevent uneven
charging because of a lower changing efficiency occurring in a low-humidity environment.
The AC bias, therefore, is varied as shown in F04-205-01 to suit the readings of the environ-
ment sensor (humidity). When the resistance of the drum surface decreases because of ad-
vancing wear, the current level is decreased to facilitate the flow of current.
