2.2.3 C483/C484 MAIN-B Board
The logic circuit of the C483/C484 Main-B board is composed of the follows;

Logic line (ASIC, DRAM, P-ROM, EEPROM and so no)

Motor control/drive circuit (CR motor/PF motor)

Head control/drive circuit

Interface control circuit (Parallel I/F, USB I/F)

Sensor circuit

Reset/Regulator circuit

EEPROM circuit

Switch circuit

LED circuit
The printer mechanism is controlled by the above circuits. Following explains the
major characteristics of this Main board.

Timer IC & Lithium battery are not mounted
Unlike the previous printer (Stylus COLOR 680), the Timer IC and the Lithium
battery are not mounted on these Main boards. So, these printers perform the
Power-on cleaning or Timer cleaning based on the time command which is sent
from the PC through the printer driver. As for the details, refer to 2.1.6.

Use of the 3.3V chips in the logic circuit
The 3.3V regulator (IC8) on the C418 Main/Main-B/C429 Main board generates
3.3VDC by pressuring down the 5VDC to drive several chips for the logic circuit.
Table 2-10. 3.3VDC drive chips & 5VDC drive chips

Unlike the previous printer (Stylus COLOR 680), the panel board is eliminated
and the switches/LED lights are mounted on the Main board.

The transceiver with USB I/F is built in the CPU.

D-RAM

4M/16Mbit D-RAM is mounted on the Main board.

One ASIC controls the all functions on the Main board.
