Chapter 2 Operation
2.1 Main Control Board (PCE PCB)
The control board consists of a CPU block, a memory control LSI block, an interface control LSI block, a DRAM
block, an EEPROM block, a mask ROM block, and an interface block.
Here is the Functional Block Diagram of the main control board (PCE PCB).
Functional Block Diagram of Main Control Board
(1) CPU
The CPU is a 64-bit RISC architecture processor (provided by NEC). It inputs a frequency of 50
MHz and runs at 200 MHz. It transfers data to a from memory at 50 MHz.
(2) Mask ROM
The mask ROM block consists of four 16 Mbit (1M x 16 bits) chips and its total size is 8M bytes.
The chips are mounted on the PCE-PCB by means of IC sockets and store programs and
character fonts.
(3) DRAM
The DRAM block consists of eight 16 Mbit (1M x 16bits) chips and its total size is 16M bytes. The
chips are mounted on the PCE-PCB and can be expanded up to 144M bytes by adding the 32M
byte SIMMs to the SIMM slots on the PCE-PCB.
(4) EEPROM
The EEPROM block consists of 16K-bit chips mounted on a board by means of IC sockets and
stores the following:
l Menu data
l Counter values
l Adjustment values
(5) Flash ROM
The Flash ROM block consists of four 4M bit (256K x 16bits) chips and its total size is 2M bytes.
The chips are mounted on the PCE-PCB and are used for storing fonts, macro and demo pages.
(6) Memory control LSI
This block mainly consists of memory control, CPU control, compression and decompression, and
video interface functions.
(7) Interface control LSI
This block mainly consists of PU interface control, operator panel interface control, EEPROM
control, parallel interface control, and HSP control functions.
(8) Host interface
The printer has the following interfaces to the host.
l Centronics bi-directional parallel interface
l Network interface (Option)
The single effective interface or the automatic interface select mode can be selected using the
menu. If the busy state of the printer continues for a long time period, the buffer near-full control
releases the busy status at constant intervals even if the host side is busy so as not to cause
interface time-out at the host side.
(a) Centronics bi-directional parallel interface
This is an interface confirming to IEEE-1284 and provides either unidirectional ad bi-directional
communications according to each of the following communication modes.
l Compatibility mode - Unidirectional communications from the host to the printer.
l Nibble mode - This mode transfers 4-bit wide data from the printer to the host. In this mode,
each bit of 1-byte data transmits in the form of two nibbles using ERROR, BUSY, FAULT,
and SELECT signal leads. This mode can provide bi-directional operation in combination
with the compatibility mode.
l ECP mode - This mode provides the asynchronous bi-directional interface and transmits and
receives 1-byte data using eight data signal leads under semi-duplex control by the host.
When the power is turned on, the compatibility mode is automatically selected. The change to
another mode form the compatibility mode is made through negotiation. (When the BI-DIRECTION
is set to ENABLE in the menu, this change can be performed.) (For the electrical/physical
characteristics of this interface, see APPENDIX B).
(b) Network interface (Option)
Network interface card uses the power line only.
(9) This printer has the 2nd Cache unit which type is Write Through Cache and size is 512 KByte.
There are any difference between the instruction and data. All of the CPU read/write access are
cached to same 2nd cache memory.
(10) RAM module
l Pin layout
l Basic specification
Type:
Access time: 72 pins SIMM (32 bits buss width)
Capacity: 60ns, 70ns, 80ns
Parity: 4, 8, 16, or 32
None

2.2 Engine Control Board (PX4 PCB)
ANALOG INPUT
(Heater temperatures and environmental humidity and temperature)
Engine Control Board Block Diagram
The engine control block (PU) is controlled by the engine control board (PX4 PCB) which consists of a CPU
(MSM65524), general purpose LSI chips, EPROM, EEPROM, pulse motor drivers, and video memory. Refer to the
Engine Control Board Block Diagram above.
(1) CPU
This is an 8-bit CPU (OKI MSM65524) containing the AD converter and controls the whole system.
(2) General-purpose LSI
This LSI (MB87D113PFV) is provided in the printer engine control block and has controller-engine
video interface, LED interface, motor control, sensor input, video memory control, main scanning color
correction, skew correction, high-voltage power control, and OST-EX2 functions.
(3) EPROM
This EPROM (275C512-150) has a storage capacity of 512K bits and stores programs for the PU
block.
(4) EEPROM
This EEPROM (NM93C66N-NW) has a storage capacity of 4K bits. It is mounted on the board by
means of IC socket and stores adjustment values.
(5) Pulse motor drivers
These drivers (MTD2005F) drive eight pulse motors for moving up and down the image drum (EP) and
transferring medium.
(6) Video memory
This SRAM received print data through video interface and stores it.

2.3 Power/Board
The power board consists of an AC filter circuit, a low voltage power supply circuit, a high voltage power supply
circuit, and heater drive circuit, and photo sensors.
(1) Low voltage power supply circuit.
This circuit generates the following voltages.
Output voltage Use
+3.3 V CU Unit CPU, LED HEAD
+5 V Logic circuit supply voltage
+32 V Motor and fan drive voltage and source voltage for high-voltage supply, discharge
lamp
+12 V HSP, OP Amp, high voltage power supply

(2) High voltage power supply circuit
This circuit generates the following voltages necessary for electro-photographic processing from +32 V in
accordance with the control sequence from the control board. When cover open state is detected, +32 V supply is
automatically interrupted to stop the supply of all high-voltage outputs.
