Low-voltage power supply voltages description
The low-voltage power supply converts the AC power into two DC voltages, which it then subdivides, as
described in the following table:
Table 1-10 Converted DC voltages
Main DC voltage Sub-voltage Behavior
+24V +24VA0 Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+24VA2 Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+24VB Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+24VC1 Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+24VC2 Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+24VF Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+5V +5VA Stopped during inactive OFF
+5VB Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+5VE Stopped during inactive OFF
+5LL Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
+3.3V +3.3VA Stopped during inactive OFF
+3.3VB2 Stopped during inactive OFF
Supplied intermittently during active OFF
+3.3VC Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
=3.3VF Stopped during active OFF or inactive OFF
Over-current/over-voltage protection
The low-voltage power supply automatically stops supplying the DC voltage to the printer components
whenever it detects excessive current or abnormal voltage. The low-voltage power supply has a protective
circuit against over-current and over-voltage to prevent failures in the power supply circuit.
CAUTION: If DC voltage is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, the protective function
might be running. In this case, turn the power switch o and unplug the power cord.
Do not turn the power switch on until the root cause is found and corrected.
If the protective function is active, the DC controller noties the formatter of a low-voltage power supply
failure. In addition, the low-voltage power supply has two fuses to protect against over-current. If over-
current ows into the AC line, the fuse stops the AC power.
Safety
For personal safety, the printer interrupts +24VB and +24VC power when the cartridge door detection switch
is turned o. This stops DC power supply to the High-voltage power supply (HVPS)
