COLOR IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL BOARD INCLUDED IN THE SAME

摘要

A color image forming apparatus and a control board included in the same are provided. The functions of an image processing unit and an engine controller are integrally implemented by a single processor on a control board. Thus, it is possible to eliminate circuit elements such as circuits associated with an interface between the image processing unit and the engine controller, which are needed when the image processing unit and the engine controller are separated. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently design the control board and to reduce manufacturing costs.
