Engine control system (engine control unit and power
assembly)
The engine control system coordinates all print engine activities. The engine control system
includes both the engine control unit (ECU) PCA and the engine power assembly PCA.
Note
In other HP LaserJet products, the ECU and power functions are combined onto one PCA
known as the controller PCA or the DC controller PCA. In the HP LaserJet 1010 series, the
control functions are primarily relegated to the ECU PCA and the power functions to the
engine power assembly PCA.
