20 September 1999 OVERALL MACHINE CONTROL

The basic fax unit consists of two PCBs: an FCU and an NCU.
The FCU controls all the fax communications and fax features, in cooperation with
the base copier's main board, the BiCU. The NCU switches the analog line
between the fax unit and the external telephone.

Fax Options

1. EXFUNC board: JBIG compression becomes available. In addition, this
expands the system's SRAM capacity to hold programmed telephone numbers,
communication records, etc.

2. PC fax expander: Class 2 fax communication from a PC and local printing from
a PC fax application become available (PC fax application required). Also, local
scanning from the machine’s scanner using TWAI N API beco mes av ai l able
(CFM Twain driver required).

3. ISDN unit: This allows the fax unit to communicate over an ISDN (Integrated
Services Digital Network) line.

4. EXMEM board: This expands the SAF memory capacity. Also, this expands the
page memory capacity to enable 400 dpi communications.)

5. SG3 unit: This provides one more analog line (PSTN) interface. This allows full
dual access (two communications can be made at the same time).

1.3.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION AND CONTROL

The FCU power is supplied from the base copier's BiCU (+2 4V, +12V, -12V, and
+5V). Refer to the base copier's service manual for details.

1.3.3 MEMORY BACK-UP

The system parameters and programmed items in the SRAM on the FCU and the
EXFUNC board are backed up by batteries (long-term backup), in case the base
copier's main switch is turned off.

The SAF memory (DRAM) on the FCU and the EXMEM board are backed up by
rechargeable batteries for 1 hour.

20 September 1999 VIDEO DATA PATH

Memory Transmission and Parallel Memory Transmission

The base copier's scanner scans the original at the selected resolution in inch
format. The BiCU processes the data and transfers it to the FCU.

NOTE:

Then, the FCU converts the data to mm format, and compresses the data in MMR
or raw format to store it in the SAF memory. If image rotation will be done (see
section 2-2-2), the image is rotated in page memory before compression.

At the time of transmission, the FCU decompresses the stored data, then re­compresses and/or reduces the data if necessary for transmission. Either the NCU
or CiG4 (optional) transmits the data to the line.

When scanning a fax original, the BiCU uses the MTF and thresholding
parameter settings programmed in the fax unit’s scanner bit switches, not
the copier's SP modes.

Immediate Transmission

The base copier's scanner scans the original at the resolution agreed with the
receiving terminal. The BiCU video processes the data and transfers it to the FCU.

NOTE:

Then the FCU stores the data in page memory, and compresses the data for
transmission. Either the NCU or CiG4 (optional) transmits the data to the line.

When scanning a fax original, the BiCU uses the MTF and thresholding
parameter settings programmed in the fax unit’s scanner bit switches, not
the copier's SP modes.

Note that ISDN G3 tx is not possible on the PSTN-2 line.

JBIG Transmission

•

Memory transmission:

from the FACE (DCR) to the EXFUNC board for JBIG compression. Then either
the NCU or CiG4 (ISDN G3) transmits the data to the line. When an optional G3
unit (SG3) is installed and PSTN2 is selected as the line type, JBIG compression
is available, but only for the PSTN-2 line.

•

Immediate transmission:

from the page memory to the EXFUNC board for JBIG compression. Then either
the NCU or CiG4 (ISDN G3) transmits the data to the line. When an optional G3
unit (SG3) is installed and PSTN2 is selected as the line type, JBIG compression
is available, but only for the PSTN-2 line.

If the receiver has JBIG compression, the data goes

If the receiver has JBIG compression, the data goes

Adjustments

•

Line used for G3 transmissions (PSTN or ISDN): System switch 0A bit 6

•

Line used for G3 transmissions (PSTN 1/PSTN 2): System switch 16 bit 1

•

Use of the PSTN-2 line (rx only, or both tx and rx): Communication switch 16 bit

5

•

G3 line type: User parameter switch 6, bits 2 and 3

If this is at G3 auto selection, the machine can use either PSTN-1 or PSTN-2
If this is at PSTN-1, the machine will only use the PSTN-1 line.

Error Check

A895V502.WMF

First, the FCU stores the incoming data from either an analog line or an ISDN line
to the SAF memory. (The data goes to the FACE at the same time, and is checked
for error lines/frames.)

The FCU then decompresses the data and transfers it to page memory. If image
rotation will be done (see section 2-2-2), the image is rotated in the page memory.
The data is transferred to the BiCU.

If the optional G3 unit is installed, the line that the message comes in on depends
on the telephone number dialled by the other party (the optional G3 unit has a
different telephone number from the main fax board).

Note that ISDN G3 rx is not possible on the PSTN-2 line.

JBIG Reception

When data compressed with JBIG comes in on PSTN-1 (the standard analog line),
the data is sent to the EXFUNC board for decompression. Then the data is stored
in the page memory, and transferre d to the BiCU.

When data compressed with JBIG comes in on PSTN-2 (optio nal extra analog
line), the data is sent to the QM-CODER on the SG3 board for decompression.

This section explains how the FCU selects the appropriate paper size for printing a
received fax image.

Width Priority and Length Priority

When “Width Priority” is selected , a paper size of the same width as the re ceived
fax image has a higher priority. The fax image may be printed on several pages.

When “Length Priority” is selected, a paper size that has enough length to print the
received fax image has higher priority. The fax image is printed on one sheet of
paper, but the printed fax may have wide margins on the left and right.

Image Rotation Before Printing

If the machine has the same size paper as the received fax image size, but in
sideways orientation, the fax unit rotates the image by 90 degrees clockwise, and
prints it sideways.

This feature is only possible when the received fax image is one of the following
sizes: A4 lengthwise, 8.5 x 11" lengthwise, B5 lengthwise

2. The last 10 mm of this data will be repeated at the top of the next page (this
length can be can be adjusted or repetition can be switched off).

3. The remaining data will be printed on page 2, with reduction, if it is within
[paper length + 20 mm].

4. If it is longer than this, page separation is done again. Data up to [page length ­4 mm] will be printed on page 2, without reduction.

Page Reduction Sub-Scan Reduction

Reduced Image

A895D507.WMF

First, the received image is reduced by a fixed reduction rate in the main and sub­scan directions. The available reduction rates are as follows:

•

84% - A3 to B4 reduction

•

82% - B4 to A4 lengthwise reduction

Then, the reduced image is further reduced (if necessary) in the sub-scan direction
so that it can be printed on one page. However, if the FCU detects that the image
does not fit on one page after sub-scan reduction, the FCU cancels the page
reduction, but uses normal sub-scan reduction on the received fax image.

2.4.1 SEP/SUB/PWD/SID

In 1996, ITU-T introduced the following protocol signals into the T.30
recommendations. These signals enable confidential transmission and secured
polling between machines produced by different manufacturers.

SEP (Selective Polling):

This signal informs the other terminal of a polling ID to
enable secured (ID) polling or to select a do cument to poll.
Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a SEP frame.

PWD (Password):

This signal informs the other terminal of a 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.

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

This machine is capable of sending SEP, SUB, PWD and SID codes in
transmission or for polling reception, but it is not capable of receiving PWD and SID
codes. If the machine receives one of these frames, the machine disconnects.

2.4.2 JBIG COMPRESSION

JBIG (Joint Bi-Level Image Coding Expert Group) is a working group which
consists of members of ITU-T T.82 and ISO11544. The JBIG compression method
allows data compression of approximately 1.2 to 1.3 times the MMR method in text

JBIG compressed data is referred to as a Bi-level Image Entity (BIE).
The BIE consists of a header frame (BIH: Bi-level Image Header) and a
compressed data frame (BID: Bi-level Image Data).
The BIH frame contains information such as main scan width (pixels), sub-scan
length, and compression mode (standard/optional).
The BID frame contains the actual data.

The optional EXFUNC board is required for JBIG compression.
JBIG compression is disabled when any of the following conditions occur.

•

When JBIG compression is turned off with communication switch 00.

•

When ECM is turned off with communication switch 01.

•

When the receiving terminal does not have the JBIG feature.

•

When the receiving term inal does not have t he ECM feature.

There are two modes for JBIG compression.

•

Standard mode: one stripe (data block) consists of 128 lines.

•

Optional mode: one stripe of one page (transmission speed with this mode

is faster).

This machine supports both modes for transmission and reception. The mode used
is determined during handshaking.

LINE TYPE CHANGE 20 September 1999

2.5 LINE TYPE CHANGE

When the machine is initially used only with the PSTN, the line type programmed
with phone numbers in Quick Dials and Speed Dials is stored as PSTN G3.
Later, if the line connection is changed so that G3 is to be used only with the ISDN,
the communication port for all stored Quick and Speed Dials must be changed to
ISDN G3.
This feature allows the communication mode and port to be changed for all stored
numbers at once.

Procedure:

1) Change the data in the following RAM addresses.
68E8E4 (H) - Current line type setting.
68E8E5(H) – New line type setting.

NOTE:

2) Turn the main switch off and on.

3) After this procedure, the data programmed automatically returns to FF(H).

The default setting for the above addresses are FF(H).

Then, the machine checks all phone numbers stored in Quick Dials, Speed
Dials, AI Redial, and Forwarding Stations. If the communication mode and
the port setting for a number is the same as specified for the “current setting”
in the above address, the machine changes these to the “new setting”.

Setting:

These settings can be used only when an optional G3 and/or G4 unit is installed in
the machine.

Bit 0 and 1: Communication mode

Bit 1 0 Setting

0 0 G3
0 1 G4
Other settings - Not used

Bit 2 to 4: Communication port

Bit 4 3 2 Setting

0 0 0 PSTN-1
0 0 1 PSTN-2
0 1 1 ISDN
1 0 0 G3 auto selection (PSTN-1 OR PSTN-2)
Other settings - Not used

Bit 5 to 7: Not used

Allowable settings are as follows:

76543210 Setting

00H00000000G3-1 (PSTN-1)
04H00000100G3-2 (PSTN-2)

0DH00001101G4 (ISDN)

10H 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 G3 (auto selection)

2-24

20 September 1999 PCBS

Example:

If you wish to change the port setting from PSTN-1 G3 to ISDN G4,

1. Change the data in address 68E8E4(H) to 00(H) (0000 0000)

2. Change the data in address 68E8E5(H) to 0D(H) (00001101)

NOTE:

1) Do not use this procedure if there are any files stored in the memory
awaiting transmission.

2) Quick/Speed Dial addresses containing an F-code (i.e., for
communications that will use SEP/SUB/PWD/SID) cannot be converted
to ISDN G4.

This bit is only effective when parallel memory tx

is disabled (user parameter 07 - bit 2).

If parallel memory tx is enabled, the machine

always erases the scanned pages when an

original jam occurs. The machine then asks the

user to retry from the first page, even if the

parallel memory tx is not actually used.

0: The machine displays a message asking the

user to put the jammed page back into the original

stack, and continues scanning.

The message is displayed for the time period

specified by scanner switch 0E, bit 2.

asks the user to retry from the first page.
