2.2 Circuit Operating Principles
The power source of this printer is composed of the power switch, AC cable and C124
PSB/PSE board. It supplies DC voltage used to control the printer operation.
2.2.1 Power Supply Voltage
The electrical circuit of this printer uses an RCC (ringing choke converter) type switching
regulator, which outputs DC voltage required to operate the printer. DC voltage is divided
into 3 blocks: +35 VDC (CH. A), +35 VDC (CH. B) and +5 VDC, as listed below.
