CPU (IC1001)
The CPU is a 16-bit single-chip processor with built-in ROM and RAM.
It controls the following printer operation according to the control program stored in the ROM.
- Sequence control of the printer engine
- Control of the ASIC
- Control of the fixing assembly
- Control of solenoid
- Control of sensors/switches
- Control of the fixing control circuit (relay drive)
ASIC (IC1010)
The ASIC (Application Specific IC) is an IC used in an interface such as an IC, memory, and external equipment.
It controls the following printer operation according to the command from the CPU.
- Control of the laser scanner unit
- Communication with the main controller
- Control of the high-voltage power PCB
- Control of motors
- Control of fans
- Write/Read EEPROM
- Control of the memory controller PCB
Motor Driver IC (IC401, IC802, IC803)
The motor driver IC controls each motor according to the command from the CPU or ASIC.
Reset IC (IC1007)
The reset IC mo3.3 V voltage, and resets the CPU and ASIC when the power is turned ON.
EEPROM (IC1007)
The EEPROM stores various backup data.
