Spit-on-Roll Motor (routed to the right side of the printer)
The remaining functionality implemented in the PrintMech PCA is sent to the right side of the printer through
the Mini Interconnect PCA and its three cables (power + data).
Heater Control
Converts the input voltage from the mains to a voltage in the output that is controlled by the Curing Control
PCA, and depends on the quantity of power required for impinging.
The converter has three cables: one power cable for the input, one for output, and finally the control cable.
The control part of the converter that interfaces with the Curing Control PCA is powered at 24 V.
There are three LEDs: Status (off or fault), PWM (if power is being delivered to the output), and ACOK (if Vin is
in range).
Air Curtain and Printzone Heaters control PCA
Controls the Air curtain and Printzone Heaters. For further details refer to:

Carriage Electronics
Description
The carriage contains electronics for controlling and firing printheads. It also contains electronics for
controlling the external sensors (SOL and Tetris) and the scan-axis encoder.
The electronics of the carriage receive power and data from the trailing cables, which include both power
(+42V) and data (LVDS) cables. The power cable connects the carriage with the Mini interconnect board, and
the data cable connects the carriage with the engine PCA.
Components
Carriage PCA
The carriage PCA contains electronics that control how and when the ink is dropped from each printhead. It
receives information from the sensors.
