1.OUTLINE
This manual has been written to provide guidance for troubleshooting of the OKIPAGE 16n Printer
(primarily for its printed circuit boards), on an assumption that the reader is knowledgeable of the
printer. Read the maintenance manual for this printer P/N 40029801TH (ODA) and/or P/N
40029803TH (OEL) if necessary.
Notes:
1. The power supply board containing a high voltage power supply is dangerous. From the
viewpoint of the safety standards, the local repairing of a defective board is not allowed. Thus,
the objects to be locally repaired as a result of troubleshooting are switches and fuses.
2. Replacement of CPU (MHM2029K) is not recommended. If CPU is founded to be defective,
board replacement is suggested.
2.TOOLS
For troubleshooting the printer, the tools listed below may be needed in addition to general
maintenance tools.

3.CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
3.1Outline
The control board controls the reception of data transferred through a host I/F and processes
command analysis, bit image development, raster buffer read. It also controls the engine and the
operator panel. Its block diagram is shown in Fig. 3-1.
(1) Reception control
The OKIPAGE 16n has one centronics parallel I/F port .
When optional PostScript board is installed, the printer is provided with one LocalTalk serial
I/F port. One of the two I/F ports which receives data first can be used automatically.
The other I/F port outputs a busy state.
The centronics parallel I/F port can specify the following item when set by the control panel:
An interface task stores all data received from the host into a receive buffer first.
(2) Command analysis processing
The OKIPAGE 16n has the following emulation mode.
Laser Jet Series IV : Hewlett Packard
Proprinter III XL: IBM
FX: EPSON
PostScript Level 2 : Adobe (Only when the PostScript board is installed additionally.)
An edit task fetches data from the receive buffer, analizes commands, and reconstructs the
data in such a way that print data are aligned from up to down and from right to left; then it writes
the resultant data into a page buffer with such control data as print position coordinate, font
type, etc. added.
(3) Font Processing
When one page editing is finished, a developing task makes an engine start and fetches data
from the page buffer synchronizing with a printing operation; then it developes the fetched data
to a bit map as referring to data from a character generator, and writes the resultant data into
the raster buffer (of band buffer structure).
(4) Raster buffer read.
As controlling the engine operation, an engine task sends data from the raster buffer to the
LED head.

The EEPROM operates in the following instruction modes
The CPU sets a BUSY-P signal to ON at the same time when it reads the parallel data
(CENTDATA1-P to CENTDATA8-P) from the parallel port at the fall of STB-N signal. Furthermore,
it makes the store processing of received data into a receive buffer terminate within a certain fixed
time and outputs an ACK-N signal, setting the BUSY-P signal to OFF.

This LSI is connected to a clock synchronous serial port of the CPU. It controls switch data
input, LED data output and LCD data input/output according to the commands given by the
CPU. The CPU sends the 2-byte (16-bit) command (SERIALDATA-P) together with the shift
clock signal (PCLK-N) to the LSI and then makes a predetermined input/output control if the
command decoded by the LSI is found to be a normal command.

Data is transferred to the head unit starting with the data at the left end of the paper in the
synchronous serial transfer mode using the HDCLK-P signal as the sync signal.
Driver IC

The total number of LEDs in the head unit is 4992. The data for the driver latches causes the
corresponding LEDs to light only during the time when the HDSTBn-N signal is output. There are
four HDSTBn-N signals (HDSTB1-N, HDSTB2-N, HDSTB3-N, and HDSTB4-N), each of which
controls the corresponding driver for 1248 LEDs (4992/4).
The four HDSTBn-N signals must be output within the time when the LEDs for one line continue
to emit light. After the data is moved to the latches by the HDSTBn-N signal, the transfer of the
data of the next line can be started.

3.9Fuser Temperature Control
For the temperature control by heater control, the variation in the resistance of the thermistor is A/
D converted in IC501 and the resultant digital value is read and transferred to the CPU. The CPU
turns on or off the HEATON-N signal according the value of the signal received from IC501 to keep
the temperature constant.
Immediately after the power is turned on, the thermistor is checked for shortcircuit and breakdown.
If the thermistor is shorted, the A/D converted value shows an extremely high temperature, so that
the shortcircuit can be detected. If the breakdown of the thermistor occurs, the A/D converted value
shows the normal temperature. In this case, the thermistor breakdown can be detected by the
sequence shown at the end of this section. If the heater is overheated, 5V supply is turned off by
detecting that the resistance of the thermistor exceeds the predetermined value.

* The values V1 and V2 vary according to setting mode.
(Standard temperature)
When Vt rises to V2 or more, the heater is turned off (by setting HEATON-N signal to HIGH). When
Vt drops to V1 or less, the heater is turned on (by setting HEATON-N signal to LOW). In this way,
the temperature can be kept within the predetermined range.
- 16 -
To detect the breakdown of the heater, the heater is turned on. If the corresponding temperature
rise is not detected, it is judged that heater breakdown occurs. To shorten the breakdown detecting
time, the following circuit is used. When the thermistor is checked for breakdown immediately after
the power is turned on, the THERMCHK-N signal is turned on to turn transistor Q511 on. As a
result, the thermistor serial resistance is varied to increase the reading resolution.

3.11Sensor Supervision
The paper sensor signal (WRSENSE-N) and inlet sensor 1 signal (PSIN1-N) enter the CPU
through their dedicated own lines. When the state of the WRSENSE-N signal or PSIN1-N signal
is changed, the paper sensor state is read into the CPU at the interrupt timing (INT3). The state
of other sensors is read into the CPU through the power supply interface at the CPU sense timing.

3.13Power Supply Interface
The power supply interface is an 8-bit clock synchronous serial interface between the synchronous
serial I/O ports of LSI (31701) and the power control LSI in the power supply board under the control
of the CPU.
When the control section transmits a command on OSTTXDATA-N signal in synchronization with
the clock (OSTSCLK-N) to the power supply board, this power supply board transmits a response
on OSTRXDATA-N signal in synchronization with the same clock to the control section.
The commands include the control data of the high-voltage power supply, sense command, etc.
The responses include sensor information, fuser unit temperature information, etc.

3.14Power Supply Board
The power supply circuit consists of the low-voltage power supply circuit and the high-voltage
power supply circuit. The low-voltage power supply circuit adopts a switching power supply system
and provides DC voltages required for the control of the equipment. The high-voltage power supply
circuit receives +38V power from the low-voltage power supply circuit and provides various high
voltages required for the electrophotographic process according to the control signals from the
control section.

(2) High-voltage power supply circuit
This high-voltage power supply circuit receives the high-voltage generation timing control
command that is transmitted in serial through the power supply interface from the control
section. It decodes this command by LSI (IC501) and outputs high-frequency pulses to the
corresponding high-voltage generating circuits through pins 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of LSI
(IC501). It supplies +38V to each high-voltage generating circuit as the source voltage. When
the cover is open, the supply of +38V is interrupted to interrupt all the high-voltage outputs.
The relationship between the high-frequency pulse output pins and the high-voltage outputs
is shown in the following table.
