BiCU (Base image Control Unit)

The BiCU is located at the back of the IOB in the PCB box.

The BiCU controls the system, base engine, and scanner, sends the load signal of the base engine (high-

voltage power supply, motors, sensors, solenoids, and clutches) and scanner (sensor and motor), and

supplies power as IO.

It also performs image processing. After processing image data sent from the CIS, the BiCU sends the

processed data to the head through IOB and HRB.
