2.1.2.6 Power Supply Circuit Function and Safety Protection

The printer’s power supply board (PU1) supplies the +5 VDC and +24 VDC. The +24 VDC is used
as the bias voltage supply, main motor (M1) drive, scanner mirror motor (M2) drive, fan motor (M3)
drive, and solenoid drive. For safety protection, the +24 VDC line is cut when the interlock switch
(cover open switch) is off.
