(parallel to the carriage unit). To scan next lines in the sub-scan direction after the first line, the scanner moves the carriage unit with the CCD sensor in it along the sub-scan direction. The scanned data is sent to the control board.
EPSON Perfection 610 2.1.3 Power Supply Circuit Power supply circuit board in this scanner generates direct current necessary for driving the controller board and scanner engine. See Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 for the power supply circuit board specifications and the protection circuits for each output voltage/current, respectively. Figure 2-5 shows the power supply circuit diagram.

EPSON Perfection 610 2.1.4 Control Circuit The CPU (IC11) of this scanner is a one-tip 16-bit bus CPU operating at 20MHz. ASIC (IC7) manages input signal correction, image processing, and controlling the CCD sensor board and USB interface. Table 2-3 shows the major IC functions.
This chapter describes troubleshooting procedures for this scanner. 3.2 Self-Diagnostic Function The self-diagnostic function of the scanner lets the scanner itself detect abnormal conditions. When the scanner detects an abnormality, it shows an error using the lamp. See Table 3-1 for the errors detected by the self-diagnostic function.
EPSON Perfection 610 3.3 Troubleshooting This section describes how to troubleshoot problems according to exhibited phenomenons. See Table 3-2 that enables you to find the defective part to the unit level. Then refer to the corresponding table for checkpoints and solutions.
