Top margin

The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made according to the set value.

Left margin

Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted. Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed. If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.

(7) Print reference

This machine employs the center reference system.

Since the digital copier is not provided with the tray size detection feature, formatting and center distribution are performed not by the actual paper size but by the paper size specified by the computer.

D. System outline

The GDI-PWB is provided with IEEE1284 I/F on the host side, and the 16-bit bi-directional data bus I/F and UART on the machine side. Transfer of image data with the IMC-PWB is performed with this 16-bit bi-directional data bus. Command status information with the engine is processed with UART.

This unit is installed to the position of PCL-PWB on the conventional AR-235/275.

JBIG compression data sent from the host are transferred to the IMC PWB, where the data are extracted to be VIDEO data, and sent through the MCU PWB to the LSU.
