CHAPTER 7 EXTERNALS/AUXILIARY MECHANISMS
C. Protection Mechanisms of the Power Supply Circuitry
The copier’s power supply PCB is equipped with a circuit breaker (CB1, CB2) and a fuse
(FU1, FU2) on its AC input side. To protect against overcurrent and over voltage, the copier is
also equipped with an overcurrent protection circuit and an over-voltage protection circuit.
When an overcurrent or an over-voltage occurs as a result of a short circuit in the power line,
the respective protection mechanism will turn on to stop the output of the power supply PCB.
When the output is stopped, disconnect the copier’s power plug, and turn off the AC power
to the power supply PCB to reset the protection mechanism.
Caution:
Be sure to correct the cause that turned on the protection circuit before resetting.
Repeated short-circuiting and resetting can cause the fuse built into the power supply
PCB to melt.
