CHAPTER III ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Electric signal levels are expressed by ”High” (approximate the supply voltage) or ”Low”
(approximate 0V). Signals with hyphen or slash, such as -FSRD or FSRD/, are low-active and
signals without hyphen or slash, such as FSRD, are high-active signals.
1. MAIN PCB
1.1 Outline
The Main PCB consists of the Video Controller Circuit and the Engine Controller Circuit.
The Video Controller Circuit performs the following functions.
(1) Converts data received from an external device, such as a personal computer, through
Centronics parallel interface or RS-232C serial interface into video data and transfers it
to the Engine controller circuit.
(2) Displays the current printer status in LED and LCD, and enables settings from the control
panel.
The operation sequence of the printer controlled by a microprocessor in the Engine Controller
Circuit. The Engine Controller Circuit outputs signals to drive the various loads on the laser
diode, scanner motor, main motor, etc. according to the print commands and image data from
the external device.
