2.3 Electrical Circuit Operation Principles
This printer consists of the following circuit board:
C203 MAIN board
C178 PSB/PSE board
C203 Panel board
Head driver circuits are directly attached to the black and color printheads. Figure 2-13 shows the block
diagram of the electrical circuit.
2.3.1 C172 PSB/PSE Electrical Circuit Board
The output voltages of the PSB/PSE board are as shown in Table 2-7. Since the electrical circuit of this
printer is in a secondary circuit, the delay timer can be used to allows the printer to execute the capping
operation after the printer power is turned off. This is to prevent ink clogging or smudging caused by the
exposed condition of the printhead.

voltage thorough
the rectifier and smoothing circuits. The

are followed by the transformer which generates and stab42

turned off, the
sends the
signal (PSC) to the electrical circuit. The electrical board has a
delay circuit (ZD86, C82 and Q84) to delay the power off. The delay period depends on the electrolytic
capacitor. It continues to 5 V and +42 V to keep the main circuit switch on the primary side active
until all electric charge is discharged. The minimum delay period is normally 30 seconds, which ,however,
varies depending on the capacitor size.
