Immediate Transmission:

Scanned data from the contact image sensor passes to the DIP block in the FCIP2.
After analog/digital video processing, the DCR block compresses the data for
transmission. The compressed data then passes either to the FIFO memory or to
the ECM memory before entering the telephone line through the modem.

FCU

Memory Transmission:

First, the scanned data is stored in the SAF memory after compression in the DCR
block. At the time of transmission, the DCR block decompresses the data from the
SAF memory, then compresses it again after handshaking with the other terminal is
complete. The compressed data then passes either to the FIFO memory or to the
ECM memory, before entering the telephone line through the modem.

Data from the line passes to the modem through the NCU and hybrid integrated

FIFO or the ECM memory to the DCR block, which decompresses it into raster
image data. At the same time, the compressed data passes to the SAF memory as
a backup in case of mechanical problems during printing (this is known as
substitute reception).

The raster image data then passes to the page memory for printing. After a page of
data has been stored in the page memory, the data is sent to the LDDR through
the LIF block.

Components

H545V511.WMF

This machine works as a GDI (Graphical Device Interface) printer when connected
to a PC through the parallel port.

When printing from the PC, the printer drive r (WinStyler T180) compresses the
video data and sends it to the D6002 IC through the parallel interface. The D6002
IC reconstructs the data and sends it to the D9001SJ4+ IC, which smooths the
data and treats it with the toner saving algorithm, if selected. The data is then sent
to the LDDR for printing.

Since the DRAM works as an I/O buffer, the page memory is not necessary for PC
printing.

GDI Driver for Windows 95/98

A GDI printer has built-in support for the Windows Graphical Device Interface
(GDI). GDI is a Windows standard for displaying graphical objects on monitors and
printing these objects. Since most Windows applications use a GDI, it is not
necessary to convert the output to another format such as PostScript or PCL.

PCL Interpreter for DOS Printing

The PCL interpreter allows printing from a DOS window for DOS applications.
The PCL interpreter does not work in a pure DOS environment, and is not
supported under Windows NT4.0.

WinStyler T180 does not have a PCL driver mode for printing from Windows
applications.

PC Fax Transmission

The application software compresses the PC data. It then produces the AT
commands and sends them to the specified PC parallel port.

Then the commands and data are sent from the parallel port to the machine. The
D6002 passes these to the FCIP2. The FCIP2 controls the modem in accordance
with the AT commands sent from the PC. It then sends the data to the ECM
memory through the D6002 (the D6002 does not process the data), and on to the
telephone line through the modem and the NCU.

PC Fax Reception

The data from the line passes to the modem through the NCU. The data
demodulated in the modem passes to the D6002 through the ECM memory. The
PC Fax application software then reconstructs the data.

4. Image Scanning

[A]

[B]

[C]

H545D503.WMF

The image sensor [B] consists of a row of 1728 photosensitive elements (Letter
width x 8 dots/mm). The document reflects light from the LED array and the rod
lens array focuses it onto the image sensor. Because of the short optical path
inside the CIS, the focal depth is much shorter than for a CCD type scanner.
Consequently, the spring plates [C] push the white roller [A] so that the document
surface always touches the exposure glass at the scan line.

The image sensor assembly is factory adjusted, so it does not require adjustment
or replacement in the f ield.

The image sensor scans the original one line at a time, and outputs an analog
signal for each line. The voltage from each element depends on the intensity of the
light reflected from the original onto the element; the light intensity depends on the
darkness of the document area it was reflected from.

The white roller [A] must be kept clean, because the machine scans it every page
to calibrate the white level (auto shading).

[E]

H545D519.WMF

Overview

The toner supply bar [A] stirs and carries toner to the toner application roller [B].
The toner application roller is a sponge-like structure which carries toner to the
development roller [D]. As the development roller [D] turns past the toner metering
blade [C], only a thin coating of negatively charged toner particles stays adhered.
(Refer to section 4-4-2 of the Group 3 Facsimile manual.)

During printing, the power pack applies a bias voltage of -650V to the toner
application roller and another bias voltage of -400V to the development roller. The
potential difference between these two rollers carries the toner from the toner
application roller to the development roller.

The exposed area on the drum [E] is at -200V. The development roller applies
toner to the latent image areas as they turn past the drum.

The development roller is made of soft rubber so it does not damage the surface of
the drum.

Cleaning Mode

If the paper is smaller than the printed image, or if a paper jam occurs during
printing, toner may transfer to the roller surface. To prevent this from occurring, the
transfer roller is cleaned before the next printing run.

While the machine is cleaning the transfer roller, the power pack supplies -1200V
to the transfer roller, and charges the drum to -750V. The negatively charged toner
on the transfer roller transfers back to the drum.

The machine cleans the transfer roller under the following conditions:

·

At power on (when the fusing temperature reaches half of the standby

2.3.3 SEP/SUB CODING

Overview

ITU-T introduced the following protocol signals in the T.30 recommendation in

1996. These signals enable confidential transmission and secured polling between
machines produced by different manufacturers.

SEP (Selective Polling): This signal informs the other terminal of the polling ID to
enable secured (ID) polling.
Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a SEP frame.

PWD (Password): This signal informs the other terminal of the password to enable
extra security.
Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a PWD frame.

SUB (Sub-address): This signal informs a sub-address of a destination. Some fax
servers use this information to route a received fax message to a specific address
in the local network.
Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a SUB frame.

SID (Sender ID): This signal informs the other terminal of the sender ID to identify
the transmitter.
Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a SID frame.

Detailed

Descriptions

The ITU-T recommendation only clarifies the requirements for the transmitting
terminal, and does not specify the requirements for the receiving terminal. How the
receiving terminal treats these signals varies with receiver terminal and
manufacturer.

NOTE:

This machine is not capable of receiving above (SEP/PWD/SUB/SID)
signals.

SEP Signal:

When the RX terminal receives the SEP signal with t he NSC or DTC signal, the RX
terminal switches over to secured polling transmission using the SEP ID. The SEP
(Selective polling) signal must contain four digits as an ID.

The RX terminal automatically disconnects the line when any of the following
conditions occur (Error Code 0-15):

·

When the SEP ID is ot her than four digits

·

When anything other than number s is included in th e ID

The communication is free polling when the programmed SEP ID is 0000.

PWD Signal:

When the PWD (password) and the SEP signals are transmitted together, the PWD
programmed becomes an ID code for the stored ID override.

NOTE:

SEP and PWD reception is disabled for this machine.

2.3.4 PAGE SEPARATION AND DATA REDUCTION

Incoming pages that are only slightly longer than the copy paper may be reduced
in the sub-scan direction. Whether or not this happens depends on the settings of
printer switches 04 and 05.

Reduction Enabled

If bit 0 of printer switch 03 is at 1 (Enabled), the data will be reduced in the page
memory to fit on the copy paper. However, data will only be reduced if the length of
the incoming page is ± 5 mm shorter than a certain maximum length. The
maximum reducible incoming page length depends on the copy paper size and the
reduction ratio stored for that paper size in printer switches 04 and 05.

Each paper size can be programmed with a separate reduction ratio. In each of the
two bit switches, there is one bit for each possible paper size. The combination of
the bit settings determines the ratio for that paper size.

F4 330.1 mm 433.2 mm 371.2 mm 354.3 mm

Incoming pages that are longer than the maximum length will not be reduced, but
will print on two pages and be treated in accordance with the setting of bit 1 of
printer switch 00. If this bit is 1, the bottom few lines of the page will continue from
where the first page left off. If it is 0, the next page continues from where the
previous page left off.

6 November, 1998 SYSTEM FEATURES

Reduction Disabled

If bit 0 of printer switch 03 is at 0 (Disabled), the data will not be reduced. In
addition, if the incoming page is up to x mm longer than the copy paper, the excess
portion will not print. The setting of bits 4 to 7 of printe r switch 03 determine the
value of x, somewhere between 0 to 15 mm.

2.3.5 MEMORY RECEPTION CONDITIONS

User parameter switch 05 bit 1 allows the user to select how to treat an incoming
message that is without RTI or CSI.

User parameter switch 05 Bit-1:

Memory reception if no RTI or CSI received 0: Possible, 1: Impossible

If 0 is selected, the machine receives all messages regardless of RTI and CSI.
If 1 is selected (this is the default setting), the user parameter setting works in

combination with the following bit switch.
System Bit Switch 11 Bit 6:

Conditions for memory reception if no RTI or CSI is received.

0: Impossible; memory reception is available only after receiving the RTI or CSI.

1: Memory reception is possible if there is no mechanical (printer)

error.

The default setting is 1. The default setting means that if the printer is working, it
will receive all messages. However, when there is a mechanical error in the printer,
the machine rejects such a message be cause no trace of the sender will be stored
in the machine.

2 Technical data printout on

Journal

0: Disabled
1: Enabled

1: Instead of a personal code, the Journal
lists the following data for each analog G3
communication.

E.g. 32 V34 288 M 01 00 03 02

First number: Symbol rate (V.34 only)
Second number: Final modem type used
Third number: Final date rate (for example,

288 means 28.8 KBPS)
Fourth number: M means modem EQM. /
L means RX level.
Fifth and sixth number: Line quality data.
This is either a measurement of the error
rate or the RX level, depending on the bit 3
setting below. (An M on the report indicates
that it is error rate, and an L indicates RX
level.) The left-hand figure is the high byte
and the right-hand figure is the low byte
(refer to the note after this table for how to
read the RX level). If it measures the error
rate, a larger number means more errors.
Seventh number (RX mode only): Total
number of error lines that occurred during
non-ECM reception.
Eighth number (RX mode only): Total
number of burst error lines that occurred
during non-ECM reception.
The seventh and eighth numbers are fixed
at 00 for transmission records and ECM
reception records.

How to calculate the RX level listed on the Journal (when bit 2 of system switch 00
is set to 1)

Example:

32 V34 288

L 01 00

00 00

The four-digit hexadecimal value (N) after L indicates the RX level.
The high byte is given first, followed by the low byte. Divide the decimal value of N
by -16 to get the RX level.

In this above example, the decimal value of N (=0100[H]) is 256.
So, the actual RX level is 256/-16 = -16 dB.
