MAIN Control Board
This printer uses
MAIN for the main control circuit board. It consists of the following:
16-bit
H8S/2655 (IC5) Runs at 19.66 MHz
2 gate arrays E05B33 (IC6) Manages interfaces, motors and printheads.
E05B45 (IC16)
P-ROM, DRAM and MROM
Drivers Produces common voltage for printheads
Drives motors.
Table 2-8 and Figure 2-15 show the allocated functions for major components and the main control circuit
block diagram, respectively.
