OPERATING PRINCIPLES
2.2 POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The printer can be powered by either of two power supply boards: the 120 V C204 PSB board or the 220/240
V C204 PSE board. The only diierence in the operation of these two boards is in the primary circuitry. They
supply power to the printer in the same way. The power supply board outputs the DC current required to drive
the control circuits and printer driie mechanism. Table 2-1 shows the input voltages and fuse ratings of the
boards and Table 2-2 shows the PSB/PSE board output specification.
