Page 357 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Number Name Description PCB1 IPU (Image Processing Unit) This processes image data from the CIS (Contact Image Sensor), and sends it to the VDB (Video Drive Board) and LPH (LED Print Heads). The IPU also controls the HDD unit and the PC interfaces. PCB2 MCU (Main Control Unit) This is the machine’s main board.
Page 358 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Sensors Cassette End Sensor This sensor is above the paper cassette. It detects paper end after the last sheet feeds. Cassette Set Sensor This detects when the cassette is set and locked in its place. Exit Cover Sensor This detects if the exit cover on the rear of the machine is open or closed.
Page 359 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Roll End Sensor 3 (EXP) This detects the trailing edge of the roll after there is no more paper on Roll 1. This sensor is included because if the color of the roll core is not black, Roll End Sensor 1 cannot always detect roll end.
