DC controller
The DC controller controls the operation of the printer and its components. The DC controller starts the
printer operation when the printer power is turned on and the power supply sends DC voltage to the DC
controller. After the printer enters the standby period, the DC controller sends out various signals to operate
motors, solenoids, and other printer components based on the print command and image data that the host
computer sends.
