2. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The OKIPAGE 6w consists of a main control board, two high-voltage power supply boards, a
powersupplyunit,andanelectro-photographicprocessor. TheOKIPAGE6wreceivesprintdata
from a higher-level interface and sequentially stores it in memory. The OKIPAGE 6w decodes
and edits the received data while storing print data from the interface in memory. It sequentially
transfers the edited data to the LED head for each dot line. The electro-photographic processor
then prints the data on sheets of paper.
The display of the higher-level host is used for device operation and status display.

(5) Heat Assy
The heat Assy consists of a heater, a heat roller, a thermistor, and a thermostat.
The power supply unit supplies AC voltage to the heater according to the HEATON signal
fromthemaincontrolboardtoheattheheatroller. Themaincontrolboardmonitorstheheat
roller temperature via the thermistor and keeps the temperature constant by turning on/off
the heater AC voltage supply.
If the heat roller temperature rises abnormally, the thermostat of the heater voltage supply
circuit functions to forcibly suspend the AC voltage supply.
