    Some light reading for yall.

    Its about how toner level is measured.

    If you cant sleep, it'll help.....you to snooze.

    U131 sets u155
    u156 is the high and low limits of u155. (think of it as level control in a tank).*


    *tho...it is really density control in a tank, that I need more resources.

    Re: Some light reading for yall.

    wish I could edit the previous post to add more info..

    Here's a brief comparison btwn Alphard and Saturn (unofficial).

    I was curious what the difference would be with developer sand now in the toner cartridge.

    with u131 set to Auto:

    Saturn, 500Ci: All 4 developer reported unsteady reading (u156 supply @ 502, actual u155 is 485 +/- 10)*. Varies
    Alphard, 5550Ci: All 4 developer reported set value very steadily (u156 supply @ 502, actual u155 is 512 +/- 2)

    The reason why I'm tackling this is for toner consumption, voyager and saturn wasnt too kinda on being efficient...

    The current test client I have, her setting moved +20 points since aweek ago. There hasnt been enough field test to prove this hypothesis that over toning is the result of over compensating control system...but it is related somewhat.

    Higher reading = under tone, lower reading = over tone. This is based on the TDK document. In case anyone was wondering, the sensor on Saturn's DLP is a TDK TS but cant be certain of which type.

    will up date again sometime later.

      Thank you very much for your input. Appreciate it a lot!
      .OK Google! ... will I need Berrocca this morning?

        The supply and empty numbers (502, 102...etc) may not be as straight forward as they appear to be. In the otherword, they may be encoded so only the engineers would be able to know. (ie..no touchy)

        The best we could do to keep readings accurate is to keep the sensor area clean of developer sand and toner (bottom mounted).

        for now... muwahahahaha..




        to be continued...

        thx fer readng.
