Model Compatibility: Specifically designed for the Canon imageRUNNER 2230, but may also be compatible with other Canon imageRUNNER models depending on the configuration. Function: Central Processing Unit (CPU): The motherboard houses the CPU, which acts as the "brain" of the copier, processing commands and managing the entire operation of the printer. Connectivity Hub: It connects various internal components, such as the scanner, printer engine, user interface, memory, and input/output systems, allowing them to work together seamlessly. Communication Management: The motherboard facilitates communication between the printer's software (firmware) and hardware (mechanical and electronic parts), enabling proper functionality for tasks such as printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Power Distribution: It manages the power distribution across various components of the copier, ensuring the correct voltage and current are supplied to different systems. Material: The motherboard is typically made from a durable circuit board with numerous electrical connections, microchips, capacitors, resistors, and other electronic components that work together to ensure the copier’s functionality. Location: Installed within the main body of the copier, usually accessible through a panel or door that provides access to the internal electronics of the device.
