The GDI/USB PWB has two circuits; one for transmitting and receiving
IEEE1284 signals and the other for transmitting and receiving USB signals and converting USB signals into IEEE1284 signals.
IC601, 602 and 603 are connected between IEEE1284 an ASIC to convert signals.
IC501 transmits and receives USB signals and converts USB signals
into IEEE1284 signals.
IC502 stores various setup data necessary for USB operation of IC501.
IC503 informs the CPU of connection of USB. It is connected with PC
via a USB cable. When 5V is inputted from PC to the IC’s input pin,
the output pin (signal name: USB-IN) is driven to HIGH to inform the
CPU of connection of USB.
IC504 detects connection with PC via a USB cable, supplies power to
the USB port signal line (signal name: DATA+) to enable USB communication.
When USB is connected, the CPU enables USB and disables
IEEE1284.
(When USB is enabled, IE1284 is disabled.)

DEFINITION
The definition of each Rank is as follows and also noted in the lis t
A : Parts necessary to be stocked as High usage parts.
B : Parts necessary to be stocked as Standard usage parts.
C : Low usage parts.
D : Parts necessary for refurbish.
E : Unit parts recommended to be stocked for efficient after sales service.
Please note that the lead time for the said parts may be longer than normal parts.
S : Consumable parts.
Please note that the following parts used in Copier under the same description are classi fied into A or B Rank depending
upon the place used.
Example : Gear made of Metal, Sprocket, Beari ng, Belt made of Rubber, Spring clutch mechanism.
A Rank : The parts which may be with the revol ution or loading.
B Rank : Parts similar to A Rank parts, but are not i ncluded in Rank A.
Because parts marked with "!" is indispensable for the machine safety maintenance and operati on, it must be replaced with
the parts specific to the product specification.
F Other than this Parts Guide, please refer to documents Service Manual (including Circuit Diagram) of this model.
F Please use the 13 digit code described in the right hand corner of front cover of the document, when you place an order.
