4.3.1 ASIC (Jupiter IV)
The Jupiter IV (16Bit RISC Processor), which is the executive controller to operate the printer function, is in
use, and the each operation block is driven by system program of the flash memory. The whole system is
controlled by driving operation block.

4.3.4 Sensor input circuit

1) Paper Empty Sensing
The Paper empty sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the engine board informs the state of paper to CPU whether
it is empty or not with operation of the actuator.
When cassette is empty, it detects the fact by reading the D0 Bit of CPU, and then informs the fact by
selecting the second LED(yellow) among the panel LEDs.
2) MP Sensing
By operation of Actuator on the frame, the MP Sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the engine board informs the
state of paper to CPU whether it is empty or not. It reads the D0 Bit of CPU for recognizing paper in MP,
and paper is fed from MP if there is.
