Main PCB Circuit Diagram 1/5

OSW1, hook switch sensor (microswitch)

(_) SW2, cover switch sensor (microswitch)

(_) SW3, paper empty sensor (microswitch)

(_) Reset IC which turns on at the powering-on sequence and at any of the reset opera-

tions.

(_) Connector for the control panel

(_) FAX engine (ASIC) which integrates a CPU, digital portion of a MODEM and gate array

for managing the I/Os, memories, and drivers.

(_ XT2, oscillator which oscillates at 16 MHz for the CPU.

(_) XT1, oscillator which oscillates at 32.768 kHz for the calendar clock.

(_ XT3, oscillator which oscillates at 57.6 MHz for the MODEM.

_) Connector for the cutter HP sensor

Power for the ClS LED array

Clock output

Trigger signal output. One shot of this signal triggers a line of scan.

LED control signal output circuit which controls the intensity of the CIS LED ar-

ray.

Input of video data (VID) to the FAX engine

Clamp circuit that gives the bias level to the amplifier of the VlD input circuit ac-

cording to the CLAMP and CLPWM signals issued by the CPU (that monitors

the current video data input) for compensating the DC component of video sig-

nals for the next scan line

Connector for the thermal recording head

(_)-1: Power 26V for the thermal recording head

(_-2: Thermister signals which are normalized by the resistor network and fed to the

FAX engine

(_-3: Strobe signals

0-4: Data signals

_-5: Power 5V for the logic circuit of the thermal recording head

Connector for the motor

Connector for the solenoid (that switches the power transmission)

III - 21

Transistor array which consists of seven transistors

(_)-1: Transistors that control the rotation direction of the motor _._.u_uing to me MM4

through MM1 signals.

(_)-2: Transistor that turns on and off the solenoid.

The combination of the solenoid state and the motor rotation direction deter-

mines to which the motor torque should be transmitted, the cutter, the document

feeding mechanism, or the paper feeding mechanism.

(_-3: Transistor that turns on and off the CR1 relay for switching on and off the +26V

power source to the thermal recording head.

(_)-4: Transistor that turns on and off the CML relay.

(_) Document front and rear sensor circuitry that is active only while the SEON signal is on.

The LEDs for the sensors are driven by the +26V source.

(_)-1: PH1, document rear sensor

(_-2: PH2, document front sensor
