2.2 Electrical Circuit Operating Principles
The electric circuit of the Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX consists of the following
boards.
Main board:
C408 MAIN
Power supply board:
C408 PSE
Monochrome panel board:
C408 PNL
Printer panel board:
C408 PNL-B
This section provides operating principles of C408 MAIN Board and C408 PSE Board.
Refer to Figure 2-17. "Electric Circuit" for the major connection of the each boards
and their roles.

2.2.1 C408 PSE board
The power supply boards of Stylus PHOTO 895/785EPX use a RCC (Ringing Chalk
Converter) circuit, which gen42VDC for drive line and +5VDC, +3.3VDC for
logic line to drive the printer. The application of the output voltage is described below.
AC voltage input from AC inlet first goes through filter circuit that removes high
frequency components and is then converted to DC voltage via the rectifier circuit and
the smoothing circuit. DC voltage is then lead to the switching circuit and FET Q1
preforms the switching operation. By the switching operation of the primary circuit,
+42VDC is generated and stabilized at the secondary circuit. This +42VDC generated
by the secondary circuit is converted to +5VDC, +3.3VDC by the chopping regulator
IC of the secondary circuit.
