1 Safety Precautions

1. Before servicing, unplug the AC power cord to prevent an electric shock.

2. When replacing parts, use only the manufacturer's recommended components.

3. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace if wear or damage is evident.

4. After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.

5. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to perform the following insulation resistance test to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.1. For Service Technicians

ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity. When repairing, the following precautions will help prevent recurring malfunctions.

1. Cover the plastic part’s boxes with aluminum foil.

2. Ground the soldering irons.

3. Use a conductive mat on the worktable.

4. Do not touch the IC or LSI pins with bare fingers.

1.1.1. Suggested PBF Sloder

There are several types of PbF solder available commercially. While this product is manufactured using Tin, Silver, and Copper, (Sn+Ag+Cu), you can also use Tin and Copper, (Sn+Cu), or Tin, Zinc, and Bismuth, (Sn+Zn+Bi). Please check the manufacturer’s specific instructions for the melting points of their products and any precautions for using their product with other materials. The following lead free (PbF) solder wire sizes are recommended for service of this product: 0.3mm, 0.6mm and 1.0mm.

KX-FT931LA-B

1.1.2. How to recognize that Pb Free Solder is Used

P.C.Boards marked as “PbF” use Pb Free solder. (See the figure below.)

(Example:Digital board)

Note: The “PbF” marked may be found on different areas of the same P.C.Board,depending on manufacture date.

1.2. AC Caution

1.3. Personal Safety Precautions

1.3.1. Moving Sections of the Unit

Be careful not to let your hair, clothes, fingers, accessories, etc., become caught in any moving sections of the unit. The moving sections of the unit are the rollers and a gear. There is a separation roller and a document feed roller which are rotated by the document feed motor. A gear rotates the two rollers. Be careful not to touch them with your hands, especially when the unit is operating.

1.3.2. Live Electrical Sections

All the electrical sections of the unit supplied with AC power by the AC power cord are live. Never disassemble the unit for service with the AC power supply plugged in.

2Warning

2.1. About Lead Free Solder (PbF: Pb free)

Note:

In the information below, Pb, the symbol for lead in the periodic table of elements, will refer to standard solder or solder that contains lead.

We will use PbF solder when discussing the lead free solder used in our manufacturing process which is made from Tin, (Sn), Silver, (Ag), and Copper, (Cu).

This model, and others like it, manufactured using lead free solder will have PbF stamped on the PCB. For service and repair work we suggest using the same type of solder.

Caution

• PbF solder has a melting point that is 50° ~ 70° F, (3 0 ° ~ 40°C) higher than Pb solder. Please use a soldering iron with temperature control and adjust it to 700° ± 20° F, ( 37 0 ° ± 10°C).

• Exercise care while using higher temperature soldering irons.: Do not heat the PCB for too long time in order to prevent solder splash or damage to the PCB.

• PbF solder will tend to splash if it is heated much higher than its melting point, approximately 1100°F, ( 6 00 °C).

• When applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess which may flow onto the opposite side (See figure, below).

2.2. Insulation Resistance Test

1. Unplug the power cord and short the two prongs of the plug with a jumper wire.

2. Turn on the power switch.

3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part (screw heads, control shafts, bottom frame, etc.). Note: Some exposed parts may be isolated from the chassis by design. These will read infinity.

4. If the measurement is outside the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard.

2.3. Battery Caution

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s Instructions.

The lithium battery is a critical component (type No. CR2032). Please observe for the proper polarity and the exact location

when replacing it and soldering the replacement lithium battery in.

6.3.2. Flash Memory (IC2)

This 512KB ROM (FLASH MEMORY) carries a common area of 32KB and bank areas which each have 8KB (BK4~BK63). The addresses from 0000H to 7FFFH are for the common area and from 8000H to 9FFFH are for the bank areas.

6.3.3. Dynamic RAM (IC4)

The DRAM serves as CPU and receives memory. The address is F200H~F3FFH (DRAM access window 1) and F600H~F7FFH (DRAM access window 2).

6.3.4. Reset Circuit (Watch dog timer)

The output signal (reset) from pin 4 of the voltage detect IC (IC3) is input to the ASIC (IC1) 114 pin.

1. During a momentary power interruption, a positive reset pulse of 50~70 msec is generated and the system is reset completely.

2. The watch dog timer, built-in the ASIC (IC1), is initialized by the CPU about every 1.5 ms. When a watch dog error occurs, pin 115 of the ASIC (IC1) becomes low level. The terminal of the 'WDERR' signal is connected to the reset line, so the 'WDERR' signal works as the reset signal.

KX-FT931LA-B

6.3.5. RTC Back up Circuit

1. Function This unit has a lithium battery (BAT1) which works for the Real Time Clock (RTC, Integrated into ASIC:IC1). The RTC continues functioning, even when the power switch is OFF, backed up by a lithium battery.

2. Circuit Operation When the power is turned ON, power is supplied to RTC (IC1). At this time, the voltage at pin 14 of RTC (IC1) is +3.3V. When the power is turned OFF, the battery supplies the power to RTC through J1, R80, D503. At that time, the voltage at pin 14 of IC1 are about +2.5V. When the power is OFF and the +5V and +3.3V voltages decrease, the LOW is input to pin 114 of IC1. Pin 111 of IC1 outputs the reset signals. Pin 11 of IC1 become low, then RTC (IC1) go into the back up mode, when the power consumption is lower.

6.3.6. Supervision Circuit for the Thermal Head Temperature

1. Function The thermistor changes the resistor according to the temperature and uses the thermistor's characteristics. The output of pin 139 of IC1 becomes a low level. Then when it becomes a high level, it triggers point A. In point C, according to the voltage output time, the thermal head's temperature is detected. After the thermal head temperature is converted to voltage in B, it is then changed to digital data in the A/D converter inside IC1. The CPU decides the strobe width of the thermal head according to this value. Therefore, this circuit can keep the thermal head at an even temperature in order to stabilize the printing density and prevent the head from being overheated.

Copy (Fine, Super-Fine, Photo)

1. Line information is read by CIS (to be used as the reference white level) via route (1), and is input to IC1. Refer to Block Diagram (P.21)

2. In IC1, the data is adjusted to a suitable level for A/D conversion in the Analog Signal Processing Section, and via route (2) it is input to A/D conversion (8 bit). After finishing A/D conversion, the data is input to the Image Processing Section via route (3). Then via route (4) and route (5), it is stored in RAM as shading data.

3. The draft’s information that is read by CIS is input to IC1 via route (1). After it is adjusted to a suitable level for A/D conversion via route (2), the draft’s information is converted to A/D (8 bit), and it is input to the Image Processing Section. The other side, the shading data which flows from RAM via route (6) and route (7), is input to the Image Processing Section. After finishing the draft’s information image processing, white is regarded as “0” and black is regarded as “1”. Then via routes (4) and (5), they are stored in RAM.

4. The white/black data stored as above via routes (6) and (8) is input to the P/S converter. The white/black data converted to serial data in the P/S converter is input to the Thermal Head via route (9) and is printed out on recording paper.

1. Same processing as Copy items 1 - 3.

2. The data stored in the RAM of IC1 is output from IC1 via routes (6) and (10), and is stored in the system bus. Via route (11), it is stored in the communication buffer inside DRAM (IC4).

3. While retrieving data stored in the communication buffer synchronous with the modem, the CPU (inside IC1) inputs the data to the modem along route (12), where it is converted to serial analogue data and forwarded over the telephone lines via the NCU Section.

Reception

1. The serial analog image data is received over the telephone lines and input to the modem via the NCU section, where it is demodulated to parallel digital data. Then the CPU (IC1) stores the data in the communication buffer DRAM (IC4) along route (11).

2. The data stored in DRAM (IC4) is decoded by the CPU (IC1) via route (12), and is stored in RAM via routes (13) and (5).

3. Same processing as Copy item 4.

6.4.3. Thermal Head

1. Function This unit utilizes state of the art thermal printer technology. The recording paper (roll paper) is chemically processed. When the thermal head contacts this paper it emits heat momentarily, and black dots (appearing like points) are printed on the paper. If this continues, letters and/or diagrams appear, and the original document is reproduced.

2. Circuit Operation There are 27 driver ICs aligned horizontally on the thermal head and each one of these ICs can drive 64 heat emitting registers. This means that one line is at a density of 64×27=1728 dots=(8 dots/mm). White/Black (white=0, black=1) data in one line increments is synchronized at IC1 pin 117 (THCLK), and sent from IC1 pin 116 (THDAT) to the shift register of the ICs. The shift registers of the 27 ICs are connected in series, and upon the shift of dot increment 1728, all the shift registers become filled with data, and a latch pulse is emitted to each IC from IC1 pin 118 (THLAT).With this latch pulse, all the contents of the shift registers are latched to the latch registers. Thereafter, through the addition of strobes from the IC1 pins (103 - 104) only black dot locations (=1) among latched data activates the driver, and the current passes to heat the emitting body causing heat emission. Here, the two line strobes, STB1 and STB2, impress at intervals of 9.216 msec, as required for one-line printout. The sequence is shown on the next page. [Moreover, for the strobe width, the thermistor value inside the thermal head is detected according to IC1 pin 4. (See Block Diagram (P.21).) Depending on that value, the strobe width is recorded in FLASH (IC2). Accordingly, the strobe width is determined. When the thermal head is not used, the IC1 (17, HEADON) becomes low, Q6 turns OFF, Q7 turns OFF, and the +24 V power supply for the thermal head driver is not impressed to protect the IC.

6.4.4. Scanning Block

The scanning block of this device consists of a control circuit and a contact image sensor made up of a celfoc lens array, a light source, and photoelectric conversion elements.

When an original document is inserted and the start button pressed, pin 129 of IC1 goes to a high level and the transistor Q14 turns on.This applies voltage to the light source to light it. The contact image sensor is driven by each of the FTG-F1 signals output from IC1, and the original image illuminated by the light source undergoes photoelectric conversion to output an analogue image signal (AIN). The analogue image signal is input to the system ASIC on AIN1 (pin 3 of IC1) and converted into 8-bit data by the A/D converter inside IC1. Then this signal undergoes digital processing in order to obtain a high-quality image.

6.4.5. Stepping Motor Drive Circuit

1. Function One individual stepping motor is used for transmission and reception. It feeds the document or recording paper synchronized for reading or printing.

2. Circuit Operation During motor drive, ASIC IC1 pin 124 becomes a high level, and Q2 and Q1 go ON as a result. +24 V is supplied tothe motor coil. Stepping pulses are output from gate array IC1, causing driver IC7 to go ON. The motor coil is energized sequentially in 2 phase increments or 1-2 phase increments, which causes a 1-step rotation. A 1-step rotation is 0.13mm of recording paper or document paper. The timing chart is below.

6.6. Modem Section

6.6.1. Function

The unit uses a 1 chip modem (IC5) that serves as an interface between the control section for FAX transmission and reception and the telephone line. During a transmitting operation, the digital image signals are modulated and sent to the telephone line. During a receiving operation, the analogue image signals which are received via the telephone line are demodulated and converted into digital image signals. The communication format and procedures for FAX communication are standardized by ITU-T. This 1 chip modem (IC5) has hardware which sends and detects all of the necessary signals for FAX communication (DTMF). It can be controlled by writing commands from the CPU (IC1: inside ASIC) to the register in the modem (IC5). This modem (IC5) also sends DTMF signals, generates a call tone (from the speaker), and detects a busy tone and dial tones.

Overview of Facsimile Communication Procedures (ITU-T Recommendation):

1. ON CCITT (International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee) The No. XIV Group of CCITT, one of the four permanent organizations of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), investigates and make recommendations on international standards for facsimiles.

2. Definition of Each Group

• Group I (G1) Official A-4 size documents without using formats which reduce the band width of a signal are sent over telephone lines.Determined in 1968. Transmission for about 6 minutes at a scanning line density of 3.85 lines/mm.

• Group II (G2) Using reduction technology in the modulation/demodulation format, an A-4 size document is sent at an official scanning line density of 3.85 lines/mm for about 3 minutes. Methods to suppress redundancy are not used. Determined in 1976.

• Group III (G3) Method of suppressing redundancy in the image signal prior to modulation is used. An A-4 size document is sent within about one minute. Determined in 1980.

• Group IV (G4) Transmission is via the data network. A method is provided for suppressing redundancy in signals prior to transmission, and error-free reception of transmission is possible. The scope of these facsimile applications is not limited simply to transmission of written statements. Through symbiotic linkages with other communication methods, it can be expected to expand to include integrated services.
