IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES

+

PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY

1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the printer and peripherals,
make sure that the printer power cord is unplugged.

2. The wall outlet should be near the printer and easily accessible.

3. Note that some components of the printer are supplied with electrical
voltage even if the main switch is turned off.

4. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior
covers off or open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away
from electrified or mechanically driven components.

HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS

1. If you get ink in your eyes by accident, try to remove it with eye drops or
flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.

2. If you ingest ink by accident, induce vomiting by sticking a finger down
your throat or by giving soapy or strong salty water to drink.

OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS

1. The printer and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a
customer service representative who has completed the training course
on those models.

2. The RAM board has a lithium battery which can explode if handled
incorrectly. Replace only with the same type of RAM board. Do not
recharge or burn this battery. Used RAM boards must be handled in
accordance with local regulations.

SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL

1. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.

2. Used ink and masters should be disposed of in an envionmentally safe
manner and in accordance with local regulations.

3. When keeping used lithium batteries (from the main control boards) in
order to dispose of them later, do not store more than 100 batteries
(from the main control boards) per sealed box. Storing larger numbers
or not sealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat
build-up.

The thermal hea d dr ive voltage has been decreased from 24 V to
16V because the sm all er heating element s in th e th er m al head
require less power.

The power supply boar d has been modified to output 16V to drive
the thermal head.

An ON/OFF switching circuit for the thermal head drive voltage
(VHD) has been add ed t o th e power supply board.

The design of the fron t co ver and the model name pr i nt ed on the

and to ensure that the us er s do not confuse the C211/ C 21 2/ C 213
models with the C207/C208 models and use the wrong mast er ty pe.
(The new master is more sensitive.)

The C213 make-up control board has been eliminated because the

The pick-up [A] and feed roller [B] feed the original into the scanner, and the
separation roller [C] helps to feed one sheet at a time. Then, the R0 [D], R1
[E], and R2 [F] rollers feed the document through the scanner.

At the time of scanning the document, the scanner moves down to the
scanning position under the exposure glass [G]. The shading plate [H]
pushes the document to the exposure glass at the scan line, so that the
document is within the image sensor’s range of focus.

After scanning, the ADF feeds out the document onto the platen cover, and
the scanner moves back to its home position at the right end of the scanner.

[C]

The contact image sensor (CIS) assembly [A] consists of an exposure glass
[B], a roof mirror lens array [C], a xenon lamp [D], and an image sensor [E].
The CIS moves under the exposure glass when scanning a book original, or
stays at the ADF scan line when scanning a sheet original using the ADF.

The image sensor is a row of 4096 photosensitive elements (B4 width x 16
dots/mm). The roof mirror lens array focuses the light reflected from the
document 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. Because of this, two springs at each
end of the CIS push it against the exposure glass [F], so that the distance
from the original is kept the same all the time. However in book scanning
mode, if the original is out of the CIS’s focal range, the scanned image may
get darker.

Because the analog output signal is a sawtooth waveform, data sampling
timing should be adjusted whenever a new CIS is installed in the machine.

Enlargement/

Reduction

This model uses a contact image sensor instead of a CCD. This removes the
necessity of the complicated adjustments needed for a CCD scanner.

There are 3 main chips on the main control board as shown. This model uses
a new type of halftone processing chip. The new halftone processor enables
the use of Letter/Photo mode in addition to Letter and Photo modes as the
Type of Original selection. In Letter/Photo and Photo modes, error diffusion
processing is used. This produces better copy quality halftone images.

Detailed

Descriptions

The new halftone processor also includes the A/D conversion function, not
only the image processing functions. The thermal head drive function is built
into a chip (GA2) on the main control board. Therefore, this model does not
have a A/D conversion board and thermal head board.

2-21

OPTICS/IMAGE PROCESSING 1 November 1996

2.1.2 A/D Conversion Processing

The analog signal from the contact image sensor is converted into a digital
signal that represents 64 grayscale steps. This process is just like in the other
models, however it is carried out in the halftone processing chip while the
other models use a separate A/D conversion board.

Shading Distortion Correction

The image data from one main scan line does not exactly represent the line
from the original image, because of the following reasons:

1) Loss of brightness towards the ends of the exposure lamp.

2) Variations in sensitivity among elements of the contact image sensor

3) Distortions of the light path

Such distortions in the image data are corrected when they are converted
into digital data.

Before scanning the document, the scanner reads the white plate on the
back of the original scale. The output of each contact image sensor element
is changed to a 6-bit digital value and stored in the shading distortion memory.

To change the analog shading distortion signals to digital data, a scale of 64
steps is made between the whitest level when the white plate is scanned and
50% of the whitest level. Using this scale, the analog signal is changed to
6-bit digital data.

While an original is scanned, the 6-bit shading distortion value for each pixel
is sent in series from memory to the D/A converter, synchronizing with the
image signal being sent to the A/D converter. The D/A converter changes the
distortion value to an electrical current. The current is converted to the
voltage to be used as high reference data for A/D conversion. In this way, the
high reference voltage for A/D conversion is changed sequentially for each
pixel depending on the shading distortion data for that pixel.

2-22

1 November 1996 OPTICS/IMAGE PROCESSING

Original Background Correctio n

When an original is scanned, the whitest level of the original background is
stored, and that level is used as the white peak level for A/D conversion. The
grayscale is made based on the white peak level of the original. As a result,
dark background does not appear on the printout.

If the original background correction is disabled, the whitest level when the
white plate is scanned is used for the high reference voltage.

Detailed

Descriptions

Peak Hold

The peak hold circuit holds the voltage for the white peak level. Before
scanning an original, it holds the white peak voltage from the white plate to
make shading distortion data. When the original is scanned, it stores the
white peak level of the original for the original background correction.

NOTE:

The white peak level is checked 5 mm from the leading edge of the
original set on the exposure glass (and from the central 147 mm
width). If the original leading edge is not flush with the original scale
and the platen cover stays open, insufficient voltage will be input as
the white peak level. If insufficient voltage is detected, a fixed voltage
is used as the white peak level to avoid a faint image copy.

2.1.3 Binary Processing

In the halftone processing chip, the 6-bit digital signal data is generated in the
A/D conversion circuit and is sent to the binary processing circuit. At that time
the data is inverted to match the binary processing circuit. Therefore, the
white peak level becomes 0, and the black level becomes 63.

In the binary processing circuit, the 6-bit data is converted into 1-bit data for
black or white pixels. The binary process for the letter mode is different from
that for the photo mode and the letter/photo mode as follows:

Letter Mode: MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) Correction
Photo Mode: Error Diffusion Processing

Data Compensation Processing

In this process, the 6-bit data are converted based on a compensation curve
(γ curve) which corresponds to selected image settings. For example, if a
darker image is selected, a compensation curve which converts each pixel
value to a higher number is selected. The output data is also 6-bit.

MTF Correction

When the original image is converted to electrical signals by the contact
image sensor, the contrast is reduced. This is because neighboring black and
white parts of the image influence each other. This symptom is typical when
the width and spacing between black and white areas are narrow. MTF
correction counters this symptom and emphasizes image detail. The value of
a target pixel is modified depending on the value of surrounding pixels. The
modified data are compared with a threshold level. This determines if the
pixel is to be black or white.

The value [E] of the target pixel [e] is calculated with the following formula:

After the MTF correction is done, the corrected data are compared with the
black or white threshold level. If a pixel value is above the threshold level, it is
set to black. If the pixel value is equal or below the threshold level, it is set to
white. The threshold level depends on the selected density setting.

Error Diffusion

Error Diffusion is used to reproduce halftone images in Photo mode.
Before a 6-bit image signal is converted into a single-bit signal based on the

threshold level, there is a difference between the image signal value and the
complete black value (63 for a 6-bit signal) or white value (0). With the Error
Diffusion process, the difference is distributed among the surrounding pixels.
(The MTF process simply erases these differences.)

When considering Error Diffusion in one dimension only (across the page),
the 6-bit data shown in the example below produces white and black data
output as shown below. In practice, this one-dimensional Error Diffusion is
done in all directions on each pixel (across the page, down the page, etc.).

In each dimension, the difference between the pixel value and the nearest
extreme (0 or 63) is transferred to the next pixel. The 1st pixel in the row
becomes either black or white, whichever is closest. Then, for the 1st pixel
above, the difference between 7 and 0 is added to the 2nd pixel. The value of
the 2nd pixel, which is now 18, is then added to the 3rd pixel. The 4th pixel
becomes 52, which is closer to 63 than 0. In such cases, the difference is
subtracted (not added) to get the next pixel value. In this example, the
difference is 63-52=11, and the next pixel value (30-11) becomes 19.

Binary Processing in Letter/Photo Mode

In the Letter/Photo mode, the machine checks each pixel of the original to
see if the pixel is in a line area or in a photo area. To recognize a line area in
a photo original, the CPU does the following calculation on the 6-bit pixel data.

x = | (c + f + i) - (a + d + g) |
y = | (g + h + i) - (a + b + c) |

If x or y is greater than 10, the machine recognizes that pixel e is in a letter
area of the image and uses the MTF process to convert the 6-bit value to
1-bit.

Descriptions

If the calculated number is 10 or less, the pixel is converted to 1-bit using
Error Diffusion.

To emphasize characters in a photo original when using Letter/Photo mode,
a data compensation curve (γ curve) is used to make a darker image.

80% Redu ction

140% Enlargement

Reduction and enlargement in the sub-scanning direction is done by
changing the original transport motor speed. Reduction and enlargement in
the main scanning direction is handled by the magnification and image shift
processing.

Pixels for scanning and master making are generated at fixed intervals (the
contact image sensor and thermal head element intervals). The image is
scanned at the contact image sensor element interval. If pixels on the master
are made at the same interval (by the thermal head elements) then the
master image is the same size as the original.

80 % Reduction

For example, data for 10 pixels in a main scan line are scanned by the
contact image sensor. Those data are compressed into data for 8 pixels by
the magnification processor. As a result, the image is reduced to 80 %.

140 % Enlargement

Data for 10 pixels of a main scan line are expanded into data for 14 pixels. As
a result the image is enlarged with a 140 % magnification ratio.

When actual pixels are divided in accordance with a magnification ratio, the
values of the imaginary points that would correspond to new pixels are
calculated by the magnification processor. The proper value for each
imaginary point is calculated based on the image data of the surrounding
pixel values.
