(d) Conduction of transistor Q3 pulls the center tap of drive puls e
transformer T1 to common which disables the series switch transistor A9-Q1. Conduc-
tion of transistor Q2 provides a current path for transistor Q1 which starts to
conduct and cuts off transistors Q3, Q4, and Q5, allowing the slow turn-on/off
sequence circuit to be activated.
(e) Conduction of transistor Q1 occurs when the voltage of capacitor
A9-C24 reaches a predetermined level and turns off transistors Q3, Q4, and Q5,
signifying the start of operation of the power supply .

Q2 turns off, which turns transistor Q1 off and Q3, Q4, and Q5 on until capacitor A9-

(a) A power on (PWR ON) signal is generated on PCA A10 which is used to
set a power-up (PUP) driver on PCA A3.
PUP clears or sets the plotter circuits to a
known quiescent condition when the plotter is first switched on. This PUP signal is

warm-up period and remains in a high state until the plotter is switched off.
(b) When the plotter is first switched on, the regulated +15 V supply
from U1 on PCA A9 is outputted to the resistive divider consisting of A10-R54 and
A10-R55.
The output of this divider, which is approximately +2.26 V, is compared
with the initially low +5 V (A) supply by voltage comparator A10-U4D which provides
a low input to voltage comparator A10-U4C, causing its output to go high. This high
output turns on transistor A10-Q11, which pulls the power on (PWR ON) output line
low and activates the power-up (PUP) driver circuit on PCA A3. When the +5 V (A)
supply output comes up to full voltage across voltage divider A10-R56 and R57, the
output of divider (+2.5 V) is applied to the non-inverting side of voltage compara-
tor A10-U4D causing its output to go high.
This high output allows C19 to charge to
+5 V through A10-R58.
With a high input to U4C-8, its output goes low, cutting off
transistor A10-Q1 and allowing the pwr on line to float up to the switched +5 V (A)

power supply assembly and is part of PCA A10.
A secondary winding of T4 supplies
110 V to generate the platen voltage.
The 110 V is applied to a voltage multiplier
(C201-204 and CR203-206) which boosts the voltage up to approximately 500 V.
When the chart hold signal is low, transistor Q101 is turned off and relay K101 is
normally closed.
With relay K101 closed, the input to the voltage multiplier (at
C201 and C204) is grounded through relay K101 and the platen voltage is 0.
