2.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
The Stylus Color Pro XL+ contains the following circuit board units:
C184 MAIN board (main control circuit board).
C137 PSB/PSE board (power supply circuit board). This board is the same as Stylus Color’s
C137 PNL (control panel board). This board is similar to Stylus Color’s.
In addition to the circuit boards above, part of the printhead drive circuit is built on a separate circuit board
installed in the carriage unit; the printhead is attached directly to this board. The figure below shows a block
diagram of the electrical circuits.
2.3.1 Operating Principles of the Main Control Circuit
The main control circuit for this printer is the C184 MAIN board. This circuit is controlled by a 16-bit
H8/3003 CPU (IC1), running at 14.7456 MHz. The CPU has a unique architecture, capable of handling data
on the data bus at either an 8-bit or 16-bit bus width. Because of this, both a 16-bit and an 8-bit data bus
width-type ROM can be used on the board, increasing the internal processing speed. Also, the CPU’s unique
architecture is capable of refresh control. In addition, the CPU controls the serial interface (RS-422 for Mac)
and optional interface (Type B interface).
Gate array E05B21 (IC2) manages the printhead driver, the external Centronics
®
parallel interface, the
extension CG board, and the control panel. The gate array also oversees the controls that create the 4-bit
signals for the carriage or the paper feed motor. (The carriage and paper feed motor are controlled by current
duty data.) This board also is equipped with a 93C46 EEPROM (IC11) to store certain parameters, such as the
black/color head data, printer mechanism control parameters, default setting parameters, as well as a special
counter value used for printhead (ink management) protection.
Timer IC NJU6355E (IC10) counts each time the printer goes through its cleaning cycle and keeps track of
how much time has elapsed since the printer has been used, thereby allowing the printer to be cleaned only
when necessary. The timer value is backed up by the lithium battery.
