1.1 Outline

The names and the functions of the accessories configured in a system are as follows:

Printer Board-N1

When built inside the host machine, it enables the host to function as a printer. With an Adobe PS3 Module-B1 mounted to the expansion ROM slot of the printer

board, the host can serve as a PS printer.

Addition of a Flash ROM Module FR-65, moreover, will enable downloading of fonts

and macros.

Ethernet Network Interface Adapter iN-E5

Built into the host machine together with a Printer Board-N1, it enables the host to

function as a network printer.

Hard Disk HD-65

Built into the host machine together with a Printer Board-N1, it will enable PDL data or

data that has undergone RIP processing.

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION

1 Construction

1.1 Outline

The three Boards described in this manual are designed for the following functions:

· Printer Board Develops print data written in PCL.

· Network Interface Board Connects the host machine with a network.

· Hard Disk (HDD) Stores print data and log data.

1.2 Functional Blocks of the Printer Board

The printer board is divided into the following functional blocks:

a.CPU

It is equipped with a Power PC (200 MHz), and it processes data as instructed by the

program contained in the built-in RAM in the CPU.

[1] Controls the SDRAM. [2] Controls the ROM. [3] Controls the printer board interface, hard disk interface, and network board interface. [4] Communicates with the host machine. [5] Controls the IEEE1284 parallel port interface. [6] Controls compression/expansion of image data.

b.ASIC

The ASIC controls the workings of the printer board as instructed by the control pro-

gram stored in the ROM. Its main functions are as follows:

[1] Performs image smoothing. [2] Performs EEPROM control.

c. DRAM

The DRAM possesses 8 M bytes of memory as standard, and functions as follows: [1] Stores print data entered from an external device (reception buffer). [2] Stores code data or pattern data resulting from conversion of image data. [3] Stores fonts processed by the printer board.

The Board is equipped with a single slot, and addition of a 32 MB or 64 MB expansion RAM DIMM will enable storage of up to 72 M bytes of data.

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION

d.Built-In Program ROM

The built-in program ROM offers 8 MB of memory, and holds a translator used to translate PCL into an internal processing language and then into image data; it also is used to control the printer board and stores fonts.

e.Expansions ROM DIMM (J1, J2, J3)

The expansion ROM DIMM may be a ROM DIMM for upgrading, accessory PS module, and flash ROM DIMM (3 pc. max.; any slots may be used).

f. EEPROM (IC4, IC5)

The EEPROM is a memory capable of electrically deleting or writing data. It offers 32 K bits of memory, and is used to retain data in the absence of power (data including printing environment, number of prints).

CHAPTER 2 OPERATION

1.3 Upgrading

Mount the ROM DIMM designed for upgrading to a slot (J1, J2, or J3) so that the functions of the existing built-in program ROM will be stopped, and its contents will be replaced with the contents of the newly mounted ROM DIMM. At this time, you need not remove the existing built-in program ROM.

When you have remove the ROM DIMM from the slot, the contents of the built-in program ROM will take over.
