2.3.2 C202 MAIN Control Board
C202 MAIN control board consists of the following:
Logic circuits for PROM, DRAM, CPU, ASIC and EEPROM
Motor control and driver circuits for CR motor, PF motor, and pump motor
Head control/ driver circuit for the black and color heads
Other circuits for the I/F (Parallel I/F, Mac serial. Type B I/F), sensors, RTC timers, and reset
Figure 2-16 shows the circuit block diagram for the main control board.
Table 2-11 shows the allocated functions for the CPU and the gate array.
