Functional Overview
Operation and Timing
Optical System
A contact sensor unit is used for the optical system. When the optical system is operating, the light-emitting diode (LED) array emits light to the document and the photo transistors detect the light reflected from the document.
Document Scanning Function
· · ·
The image sensor scans documents of up to letter size width (8.5 inches or 215.9 millimeters) at the horizontal scanning resolution of 300 dpi. The vertical scanning resolution is 300 dpi. The image sensor is a dust-free structure that prevents dust from accumulating on the photo transistors' surfaces. The light emitted by the LED array goes through the glass and is reflected by the document. This reflected light is then converted to electrical signals by the photo transistors in the sensor unit. This method requires no lens.
Structure of the Image Sensor
The image sensor consists of the following:
· · ·
·
The LED array emits the scanning light. The LED array consists of 36 LEDs and is controlled by the control system. The glass is in contact with the document. The photo transistor array receives the reflected light. The photo transistor array consists of 2,574 photo transistors and 11 driver circuits. Each driver circuit amplifies the output of 234 photo transistors. The output from the 11 driver circuits is converted to the serial data and sent to the control unit. The guide film prevents the document from becoming jammed.

Functional Overview
2-1
Document-Feed System
Although this unit does not have a sensor that detects whether or not a document is in the document feed tray, it has a document-feed sensor that detects the leading and trailing edges of the paper. The document-feed system does not have a document-feed solenoid. Rather, at the moment the main motor rotates, the pickup roller also rotates and a document is fed to the inside of the unit. The document inside the unit is then fed to the delivery slot by the scan roller after being scanned. The scan roller rotation speed is four times the rotation speed of the pickup roller.

Troubleshooting
4-3
Paper Movement
Paper movement troubleshooting can be completed after verifying that the I/O configuration on the computer is correct and that the software performs adequately. Also confirm that the documents being scanned meet the media specifications detailed in Chapter 1.
Button Press
The front cover holds the control board in place, allowing the [To[PC] and [To[Printer] buttons to operate. With the front cover in place, Press [To[PC] or [To[Printer]. The pickup roller should rotate.
Note
The [To[PC] button will not operate properly unless the software is installed. If the pickup roller does not rotate, first verify that the front cover holds the control board in place properly. Also verify that the buttons activate the switches on the control board. With the front cover off, hold the control board in place manually. If the pickup roller still does not rotate,
1 Replace the front cover if it is damaged or defective. 2 Replace damaged or defective buttons.
Paper Sensor
The paper sensor detects the leading and trailing edges of pages. When the paper sensor is not working properly,
· ·
The margin at the top of an output image may be different from the margin of the original scanned document. The output document may be two or three pages even when the original scanned document is only one page. When these problems occur:
1 Check the paper sensor lever spring and replace it if it is damaged or
broken.
Note
The spring can become disconnected during shipping. Reattach the spring, and bend the end of the spring so that it will not come loose. The end of the spring may be glued in place, if necessary.

1 2 3 4
Replace the separation pad. Replace the entrance guide. Replace the separation spring. Replace the pickup roller.
Skew
Note
Do not attempt to correct skew unless it exceeds the normal skew specifications below. Some skew is normal. The maximum amount of skew that is considered "normal" is .13 inches (3.35 millimeters) over 11 inches (279 millimeters). Skew exceeding the normal amount may be caused by media that is damaged, media that does not meet the specifications detailed in Chapter 1, or media that is loaded incorrectly. If media meets specifications, is not damaged, and is loaded correctly, but skew remains excessive, clean the separation pad, entrance guide, pickup roller, and scan roller. Verify that the paper edge guides slide freely. If not, clean (or replace, if necessary) the paper edge guides gear and loosen the gear's screw. If skew remains excessive,
1 Replace the upper cover. 2 Replace the scan roller. 3 Replace the pickup roller.

Troubleshooting
4-5
Image Transfer Failures
Troubleshoot image transfer failures only after verifying that the I/O configuration on the computer is correct and that the software performs adequately. Also confirm that the parallel cables being used are IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cables. If the Companion scans documents correctly, but the scanned image will not transfer to the printer or to the computer, initialize NVRAM (see Chapter 3) and try again to scan. If scanned images still will not transfer, replace the control board.
Image Quality Problems
Image quality problems come in several varieties: the image is too dark or too light, the image contains dark or light spots, or the image contains vertical or horizontal lines. Set the software to the appropriate resolution.
Note
It takes more time to scan at higher resolutions. Clean the image sensor and scan roller. Calibrate the Companion (see Chapter 3). If image quality problems are not solved,
1 Replace the image sensor. 2 Replace the control board. 3 Replace the scan roller.
