XDRV1 – Xaar 1003 Printhead Board

XDRV1

XDRV1 is AEWA printhead driver board for XAAR 1003 printhead. It connects to AEWA Print Manager Board (APMB) via optical fiber cable which makes the data transfer immune to electromagnetic interference. It can also be run in electrically noisy environments without concern as electrical noise will not affect fiber.
