Operating Principles Control Circuit 26
The following table lists the each function of the main components of 
the C272 MAIN board.
Table 2-1.  Functions of the Main Board
2.1.2  System Reset Circuit
The reset IC (IC2) outputs a reset signal under the conditions below to 
feed back the status to the CPU and the gate array:
† The printer is turned on or off.
† The voltage level drops due to abnormal condition.
Receiving the signal, the CPU and the gate array immediately shut off 
the operation of each IC to prevent the printer from falling into abnormal 
status caused by unstable power supply.
