B. Outline of the Electrical Circuitry
The major electrical mechanisms of the machine are controlled by the CPU on the image
processor PCB and the composite power supply PCB. Table 2-101 shows the functions of the
CPUs and those of the ICs associated with the CPU (ROM, RAM).
As many as four types of CPUs are used (for the control panel, image processor, DC controller
PCB, composite power supply PCB); of them, the CPU for the DC controller PCB is mounted on
the image processor PCB.
a. Image Processor PCB (main controller)
The image processor PCB possesses two types of CPUs and two types of flash ROMs and two
RAMs. These CPUs are referred to as the "IP-CPU" (for the image processor circuit) and the "DC-
CPU" (for the DC controller PCB) in terms of function.
* If a single RAM, be sure to use the RAM-A slot.
