2.2 POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The printer can be powered by either of two power supply boards: the C166 PSB (120 V) or C166 PSE (230
V) power supply. These boards are the same for both the LQ-2170 and FX-2170. Additionally, the PSB and
PSE boards function the same, except for a difference in primary circuitry. The power supply board outputs
the DC current necessary to drive the printer control circuits and drive mechanism. Table 2-5 shows the input
voltages and fuse ratings for these boards.
Table 2-5. Power Supply Board
Board Input Voltage Fuse F1 Rating
C166 PSB 103.5 to 132 VAC 3.15A / 125 V
C166 PSE 198 to 264 VAC T2.0 AH / 250 V
2.2.1 Power Supply Overview
The power supply board has two power outputs for use by the various control circuits and drive mechanisms.
Table 2-6 lists the applications for the two DC output supply voltages.

Figure 2-22 shows a block diagram of the power supply circuitry.
As shown in the figure above, when AC power enters the printer from an external power source, the filter
circuit removes the noise. The AC voltage then undergoes full-wave rectification and is smoothed to produce
direct voltage. The voltage is fed to the gate port for the switching FET (Q1: K2126 or K2130) through
resistors R18 and R31, and then the switching circuit operates. The secondary smoothing circuit produces a
stepped down +35 VDC voltage. The +5 VDC voltage is generated by feeding the +35 VDC voltage through
the +5 VDC power supply circuit, where the +35 VDC is stepped down to a stable +5 VDC from the 35 VDC
line.
