There are two cpus in the machine: th e main cpu (FCIP) o n the FCE and the energy saver cpu on the FDU. In energy saver mode, the main CPU switches off and the energy saver CPU takes over.

The FCIP consists of the following component blo cks:

• MDM - Modem• RU8 CPU - Main CPU

• DMAC - DMA Controller• LIF- Laser Interface

• DIP - Digital Image Processor• PRIF - Printer Interface

• DCR - Data Compression and Reconstruction

The modem inside the FCIP is used for V.29, V27.ter, and V.21 communications. In addition, the Ro c k well R144E F XL modem is used for V.17 and V.33 communications.

The 1.5 MB DRAM contains the SAF memory, ECM buffer memory, work area, and page memory. The SAF memory can be extended by 2 or 4 Mbytes with an IC card.

A 512 kB (4 Mbit) flash ROM is used for the syste m ROM. So ft ware in this ROM can be rewritten from the IC card slot or by RDS. Another 128 kB mask ROM contains LCD wording data.

The +5VBAT supply from the lithium battery [A] backs up the system RAM which contains system paramet ers an d pro gra mmed tele ph one nu mbe rs, and the real time clock in the main cpu. The 5RTCCS signa l tells th e main cpu whether the back-up po wer (+5 VB AT) is coming from the bat te ry or from the +5V power suppl y.

A rechargeable lithium ba tt ery [B ] and th e dc/dc converter on the FDU back up the DRAM (SAF memory) for one hour, if there is data in the SAF memory and the power is switched off . While the main power is o n, the +5VE supply recharges the battery. The battery recharges in one or t wo d a ys.

The battery [B] generates about 3 volts (max. 3.2 volts). The dc/ dc co nverter (IC12) lifts this voltage to 5 volts so it can be used as the +5VD supply for SAF backup. The CPU monitors th e volt age of the +5V D supply with the 1VDET signal. When the battery has run down, and the voltage is lower than

4.4 volts, the CPU stops the dc/dc converter by dropping 1SAFFG to low and the machine stops backing up the memo ry.

There is no battery switch for the battery [B].

Plate [A] aligns the leading edges of the pages of the document. When the machine starts feeding the docu men t, the mechanical clutch mechanism in the ADF roller unit lifts up the p ick-up roller [B] to feed the bottom sheet of the document. Then, the feed roller [C] feeds th e sh ee t in to th e sca nner. The separation rubber plate [D] prevents the feed rolle r from fe ed ing more than one sheet at a time.
