EPSON Perfection 1640SURevision A
CCD Sensor Board:This board has Color CCD line sensor
2.1 Engine Mechanism
This section explains the engine function and operating principles. Engine can
be divided into Carriage Unit and Carriage Move Mechanism.
2.1.1 Carriage Unit
Carriage unit is mainly composed of CCD sensor board, Inverter board, Lamp
(light source), Mirror and Lens mechanism.
Rear
Lamp
CCD Sensor
Front
Board
CCD Sensor
(independent R,G,B), and controls it and drives
circuit.
Inverter Board:This board generates voltage to drive the lamp
by pressuring up to the +24VDC and converting it
from direct current to alternating current.
Lamp:White cold fluorescent Lamp is used as light
source. When the light quantity is not stable,
the scanner blinks the Operate light until the
light becomes stable and goes to stand-by mode.
Mirror and Lens Mechanism:The light emitted to the document
reaches the CCD sensor after being
reflected on some mirrors one after
another. Not by changing the light
source to create R/G/B light component
which can be found in the previous
models, Color CCD itself creates each
R/G/B light component.

2.1.2 Carriage Move Mechanism
Scanning image is performed in the main scan direction (=1 line) by the CCD
sensor and in the sub-scan direction (=several lines) combined with carriage
unit movement. (See the figure below)
Line type, color CCD sensor can scan 1 line in main scan direction (parallel to
the carriage unit) by one time. When scanning next lines after the second line
in sub-scan direction, CR driving moves the carriage unit, which has CCD
sensor inside, and scan the other lines. The scanned data is sent to the control
board. The scanned data for “n” lines and “n-1” line are processed
consecutively.

Scanner Head
(Carriage)
Carriage Unit slides into sub-scan direction along with the guide rail. For this
sliding operation, the carriage motor drives the timing belt attached to the
carriage unit by conveying the driving force through the drive pulley and
reduction gear. Scanning start position is determined by CR HP sensor, which
is located on the control board. Since the stepping motor is used for CR motor,
carriage home position is controlled under the open loop system. (See the
figure below)

2.2 Power Supply Circuit
Power supply circuit in this scanner generates direct current DC power
necessary for driving the controller board and scanner engine. Table below
shows each power supply circuit for different destinations.
Table 2-1. Power Supply Circuit Board for Destination
Figure 2-5 shows diagram of power supply circuit.
Output from the power supply circuit is performed by closing or opening the No.
4 pin of CN102 connector. When opening, as it is shown in the Table below,
each output voltage becomes active. Also, each output voltage has over
current protection and over voltage protection circuit.

6.1 Overview
This chapter provides information necessary to keep the scanner function in
optimum condition constantly and to prevent troubles.
6.1.1 Cleaning
Perform cleaning when stain is noticeable. Stain on the document glass,
particularly, has direct effect on the scanned image. Therefore, be sure to
clean the glass well to remove stain thoroughly.
C A U T I O N
Outer Cases
Wipe stain off with a clean cloth which is moisted with water and then
squeezed tightly. To remove sever stain, use neutral detergent.
Document Glass
Remove dust and paper debris with a dry clean cloth. If stain is severe or
foreign object is stuck, use a cloth absorbed with neutral detergent. If trace
is left, wipe it off well with a dry, clean cloth again.
Never apply any organic solvent such as thiner and
benzine, since there may damage deteriorate plastic and
rubber parts.
