Explanation of Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout this Service Manual.
SymbolsExplanation SymbolsExplanation
Check.Remove the claw.
Check visually.Insert the claw.
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specic functions and the
relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of
operation.
In the diagrams,
accompanies the symbol, the arrow
represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name
indicates the direction of the electric
signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means ipping on the power switch, closing the
front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in supplying the machine with
power.
Check the noise.Use the bundled part.
Disconnect the connector.Push the part.
Connect the connector.Plug the power cable.
Remove the cable/wire
from the cable guide or wire
saddle.
Set the cable/wire to the
cable guide or wire saddle.
Remove the screw.
Tighten the screw.
Turn on the power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1' is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is
"High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low". (The voltage value, however, differs from
circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD
signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked
in the eld. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors used in the machines
are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC
controller PCB and from the output of the DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product
improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of
Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service
Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be able to identify and isolate faults
in the machine.

■Enlargement/Reduction
●Magnications in Main Scanning Direction
In book mode/ADF mode
An image is read at 100% in main scanning direction. Magnication variation and its data
process are controlled on main controller2 PCB.
●Magnication in Sub Scanning Direction
In book mode/ADF mode
An original is read at 140mm/s and the data is processed by the main controller PCB 2.
■Detecting the Size of Originals
●Overview
The machine identies the original size by the combination of measurement result of reection
light from the reection sensor and specic points of CCD. Also to identify it accurately even
though an original moves when ADF is closed, the machine measures 2 points for each size.
- Main scanning direction: CCD
- Sub scanning direction: Reection type photo sensor (AB type: 1 point, inch type: 1 point )
The followings are the procedures of original size identication.
1) External light search (main scanning direction only)
According to the LED status, the machine identies the CCD level of each detection
position in main scanning direction.
2) Output level detection of each sensor
The machine turns on the LED on CCD unit and measures the CCD level of each detection
position in main scanning direction.
Also, turns on the LED on reection type photo sensor in sub scanning direction and
measures the sensor output.

1. 2 points original detection at each detection position
For each point of measurement in main scanning direction, the machine checks the
presence/absence of an original with reference to the CCD output at 2 points near the point
of measurement.
* The machine checks if the signal is changed or not from ADF (pressure plate) open to
close at both points of 1A and 1B.
Change in the signal: Yes
Change in the signal: No
Judgment is done by the measurement results of 1A and 1B, and it indicates the presence
of original if either point shows absence (absence). It indicates absence
of original if both signals show Yes (presence).

The original size is identied by the combination of these output result.
●Control Details
For main scanning direction, the machine moves the CCD unit to the following CCD original
detection positions according to the location of original to measure the CCD level of each
detection position. For sub scanning direction, the machine uses the original sensor 0, 1 to
identify sizes.

3) ADF closed
CCD unit: in original detection position
LED: OFF to ON
Original sensor: in original detection operation
- With the ADF angle at 25 deg or less, the external light is blocked at the original width
area. Then, the machine determines that the original is absent at the points that the
external light is detected (external light search operation). When the original mount sensor
(rear) detects [close], original size detection is started. In this case, B5/B4/A4/A3 size is
eliminated at this point.
- After external light search, LED is turned ON at main scanning side and the CCD checks
the reection light (4 points). For sub scanning direction, original sensor detects the size.

●Overview
The machine changes the original read point or executes image correction depending on
the presence/absence of dust on the stream reading glass or the platen roller of the ADF to
prevent the dust from showing up in the output. These operations are carried out only when
the ADF is in use and, in addition, is closed.
[Control timing]

CCD checks the light reected by the surface of the platen roller of the ADF at the read
point to detect the presence/absence of dust. Presence of dust is detected at points A, B,
and C in this order. The point where least dust is detected will be used as the read position
for the next job.
The point selected here will be used as the read position for the next job.
- At the start of a job (dust bypass)
Presence of dust is detected at points A, B, and C in this order in the same manner as at
the end of the job. Read will take place at the point where least dust is detected.
- Between sheets
The machine does not move CCD.
It reads the original using the position determined at the end or start of a job; however,
if the presence of dust is still detected at the position, the machine will execute image
correction.

●CCD Drive
The machine's CCD sensor is a 4-line linear image sensor consisting of 7500 pixels. After
completion of photoelectric conversion in the light-receiving block, the signals are output to
the analog front end PCB unit on CCD PCB in parallel for each channel (R, G, B, B/W) of the
CCD array.

●Gain Correction and Offset Correction of CCD Output
The analog video signal generated by the CCD is corrected so that it will have a specic level
(gain correction); moreover, the output voltage occurring in the absence of incident light is
also corrected so that it will have a specic level (offset correction).

●A/D Conversion of CCD Output
The corrected analog video signal is converted into a digital signal that is suited to the voltage
level of individual pixels by the A/D converter.

●Shading Correction (Overview)
The output of the CCD is not necessarily even for the following factors even when the density
of the original is uniform:
1) Variation in the sensitivity of the CCD among pixels
2) Variation in the intensity of the rod lens array
3) Variation in the intensity of light that goes through the center and surroundings of lens
4) Variation in the intensity of light at the center and surroundings of LED
5) LED deterioration
The machine executes shading correction to even out the output of the CCD.
Shading correction may be the shading correction executed for each job.
●Shading Correction
The machine executes the shading correction for every scan made.
In this correction, the analog image process unit on CCD PCB digitalizes the LED light
reected by the standard white board. After the reected light is digitalized, it is held in the
shading correction circuit on main controller PCB as a shading coefcient.
Shading correction circuit compares the stored target value with the shading coefcient. The
difference between the two will be held as the shading correction value for use in correcting
variation among CCD pixels when scanning the original, thus evening out the density levels
of the image.

●PASCAL Control (image gradation)
Changes in temperature/humidity or wear on the machine can cause changes in gradation
characteristics. The PASCAL control mechanism is used to stabilize gradation characteristics
of images on paper. It makes up for the changes in gradation characteristics in response to
changes in temperature/humidity or wear on the machine.

■Outline of Electric Circuits
Electric circuits of this machine are controlled by the main controller PCB2. The main
controller PCB2 detect the input signals from sensors to output the signals that
drive DC loads such as motors, solenoids, clutches, and fans at the predetermined timings.
The ADF driver PCB does not have a memory area; data such as the data used in the service
mode is stored in main controller PCB2.
