The power supply unit is responsible for supplying all components of the printer with power. The PSU converts alternating current from a socket to low voltage direct current required for the printer to operate. It also regulates the voltage so the printer can start and run normally without overheating. If the printer does not start and there are problems with overheating, the power supply unit may be damaged. However, before replacing the unit, make sure that the power cable is not broken or unplugged, the fuse is not blown and the power switch works properly. To identify a failure, measure the voltage on the PSU. If the output voltage is less than 24V, the unit needs to be replaced. This manual provides the correct replacement procedure.
