The reader controller PCB serves to read image signals from the CCD and send image
signals to the main controller assembly. The video signals from the main controller assem-
bly are converted by the DC controller PCB into laser drive signals, and are turned into laser
intensity signals to suit signal levels by the laser driver PCB.
The laser intensity signals are used to cause the laser unit to generate a laser beam, which
is directed to the photosensitive drum for the formation of latent static images.
