ABSTRACT:
A compact electrostatographic reproduction machine, including a platen for positioning a document sheet having an original image to be reproduced, and a plurality of separately framed, mutually aligning machine modules variously containing electrostatographic process elements and subassemblies. The plurality of machine modules includes an electronic control and power supply (ECS/PS) module having an image processing pipeline unit for managing and processing raw digitized images; a machine controller for providing logic control to the plurality of machine modules; power supply interconnect boards including a high voltage interconnect board for supplying high voltage power; and harnessless inter-module connectors located on the power supply interconnect boards for automatically making harnessless contact with corresponding contacts on non-ECS/PS modules of the plurality of machine modules upon assembly thereof into the reproduction machine, thereby eliminating a costly and time consuming need for wiring harnesses.
