assembly or the C130 PSE (230V) power supply.
The function of these two boards is 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 2-6 shows the input
voltages and fuse ratings for these boards.
