This mode item is part of the series of procedures that must be performed when the potential sensor unit is replaced. It is not performed on its own.
7.4.3 Determining the Optimum Grid Bias
0010-8041
iR7105 / iR7095 / iR7086
The grid bias is determined so that the drum surface potential will be identical to the target potential. (The primary charging bias is set to a fixed value.)

Starting when the fixing assembly temperature reaches 193 deg C,
executes potential control every 10 min and 60 min.
After previous potential control,
executes potential control every hour.

Grid bias
Measurements are taken multiple times to
determine the relationship between the drum
surface potential (VD) and the grid bias.
A grid bias (Vg) needed to attain
the target VD is determined.

If the target VD is attained using this
measurement, the control is ended;

After measuring VD2, VD1 will be measured
if VD2 is greater than the target VD; if smaller,
VD3 will be measured.
