6.4 MAIN BOARD

The engine board and the controller board are on the same board. The CPU
functions as the bus controller, I/O, drivers, and PC interface. The main board
sends the current image video data to the LSU. Then the machine manages the
electro photography to let the machine print. It has circuits on the drive motor
(paper feed, pass), clutch drive, pre-transfer lamp drive, current drive, and fan
drive.
The signals from the paper feed jam sensor and paper empty sensor are directly
put to the main board.
Scan image processing: CCD drive signal and scan motor drive signal.
