OutlineThe power supply PCB is supplied with AC power when the door switch (SW2) and the powerswitch (SW1) go ON.On the other hand, the DC power supply supplies the main body with 24 VDC and 5 VDC.24 VDC is used to drive the main motor (M1), the scanner motor (M2), fans and solenoids aswell as high-voltage transformer (HVT); 5 VDC is used by the sensors and ICs on the DC control-ler PCB.2. DC Power Supply CircuitThe 24 VDC for the DC power supply is supplied by the switching regulator.The 5 VDC, on the other hand, is supplied by the DC/DC converter after conversion from 24VDC.The DC/DC converter generates the reset signal (RESET) after power-on and until the 5VDCsupply stabilizes to reset the microprocessor, thereby preventing malfunction of the micro proces-sor.3. AC Drive CircuitThe power supply PCB has an AC driver circuit and, based on the signals from the DC control-ler PCB, controls the SSR and relays on the power supply PCB to drive AC loads.If the DC controller PCB detects an error, the ACOFF* signal is generated to turn the relay(K101) on the power supply PCB OFF, thereby shutting off the power to the lamp driver, the paperdeck pedestal, and the fixing heater.When the power is shut off, switch the copier OFF, and identify the cause; then, switch thecopier OFF.At the same time, the ‘PW-ON-OFF’ signal is generated from the DC controller PCB to shut-off the main switch.Note:• The tolerances for the DC power supply are as follows:+24V ±4%+ 5 V ±3%• Repeated short-circuiting and resetting can cause the built-in fuse to blow.
