Besides the logic supply, the thermal array needs a 24V power supply to current-activate the dots.
This 24V voltage is also used for the stepping motor. The voltage is generated by the switching
regulator MC33063. The switching regulator works in step-up operation in connection with the
external power MOSFET. For brief peak loads, the electrolytic storage capacitor supplies the
necessary power.
Input voltage 10V...16V
