Printer systems
Electrical system
Description
The electrical system controls all the printing systems and the heating systems inside the printer. Most parts
of the control electronics are placed inside the ’E-box’.
Components
The electronics can be divided into different functional subsystems and will be described in such a way.
There are 6 functional subsystems within the electronics, Front panel, Substrate path, Scan axis, Service
Station, Ink Supply and Dryer and Curing.
• E-box: Main electrical control system of the printer, used for processing and controlling the various
printer elements.
• Front Panel: The Front Panel receives its control and power from the Interconnect PCA.
• Substrate Path: Controls the substrate movement.
• Scan Axis: Pen firing control and sensors for color and paper detection.
• Service station: Maintenance of the Printheads.
• Ink supply: Control of ink.
• Dryer and Curing: Infrared (IR) Sensors and Heaters for Latex ink.
