/RESET signal creation
Contains the program that runs the CPU.
Holds the CPU working area and buffers (input,, line,, and
image buffers).
Memorizes the printer unique parameter during the power is off.
EIA to Logic level voltage level converter
System reset IC
Drives the CR motor.
Drives the PF motor.
Detects the current in the CR motor driver and feeds it back to
the gate array on the C204 MAIN board.
