2.2.2 Main Circuit (Video Controller)
Data sent from the host PC is input to the main circuit via an interface or
network board. The C269MAIN, the main circuit of the printer, converts
data from the PC into raster data to generate video signals. The video
signals turn on/off the laser diode on the printhead to form latent images
on the PC drum.
