Image Processor Board
The Image Processor (I/P) Board is connected to the MCU Board, which
controls the printer, including Diagnostic, Interface, and Image
Processing.
The I/P Board is one of the major elements of the Phaser 6180MFP.
The primary function of the I/P Board is to receive host data through one
of the following available ports (Parallel, USB, or Ethernet). The received
host data is buffered, stored, and sent to the print engine in a rasterized
format.
