2. MECHANISMS
The equipment is classified into the following mechanisms: s Transmitting Mechanism s Receiving Mechanism s Power Transmission Mechanism s Sensors and Actuators Feeding and scanning documents Feeding recording paper and printing data Switching the power transmission route

2.1

Transmitting Mechanism (Feeding and scanning documents)
The transmitting mechanism consists of the document stacker, automatic document feeder (ADF), document feeding related rollers, scanner, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.4.) For the drive power source, refer to Section 2.3.

Document stacker

,, ,,, , ,, ,,, ,
Document Separation roller ASSY ADF parts Scanner (CIS unit)

White pressure roller

(Front)

2.1.1

Automatic document feeder (ADF) If the operator sets documents on the stacker and starts the transmitting operation, the ADF (consisting of the separation roller ASSY and ADF parts) feeds those documents into the equipment, starting from the bottom sheet to the top, page by page. Each document advances to the scanner, and then it is fed out of the equipment with the white pressure roller.

III ­ 2

2.1.2

Scanner The scanner uses a contact image sensor (CIS) unit which consists of an LED array illuminating documents, a self-focus lens array collecting the reflected light, a CIS PCB carrying out photoelectric conversion to output picture element data, and a cover glass on which a document advances. When the document passes between the white pressure roller and the cover glass, it is scanned.

III ­ 3

2.2

Receiving Mechanism (Feeding recording paper and printing data)
The receiving mechanism consists of the recording paper roll holder, anti-curl system (ACS) plate, platen, thermal recording head, automatic cutter, and sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.4.) The recording paper is routed on the ACS plate to the recording head which prints onto the heat-sensitive recording paper pressed by the platen according to received image signals. The printed paper is further fed through the cutter chute and cut by the automatic cutter page by page. For the drive power source, refer to Section 2.3.

2.2.1

Anti-curl system (ACS) The ACS eliminates curl peculiar to rolled recording paper by curving the paper towards the opposite side of the curl with the ACS plate.

2.2.2

Automatic cutter The automatic paper cutter consists of an upper blade (rotary) and a lower blade (stationary). As the upper blade rotates around the left end hub, the recording paper will be cut. Upon completion of cutting, the upper blade returns to its home position which is detected by the cutter HP sensor.

2.2.3

Recorder The recorder, which is incorporated in the middle of the machine, consists of the recording head unit, coil spring, and platen. It prints according to received image signals.

2.3

Power Transmission Mechanism
The equipment has a single drive motor whose power transmission route can be switched by the planetary gear train and the solenoid. This switching allows the equipment to function in four operation modes (recording, scanning, copying, and cutter driving modes).

2.3.1

Structure of the gear train The gear train consists of two groups of gears: one group on the drive unit and the other on the scanner frame ASSY. Mounting the drive unit onto the scanner frame ASSY makes those two groups of gears engage with each other so that the rotation torque of the motor on the drive unit is transmitted to the separation roller, white pressure roller, and platen. Shown below are a group of gears, the motor and solenoid on the drive unit. The cutter gear (Q) is integrated in the cutter flange (R) whose boss is placed in the hole provided in the cutter's upper blade.

Shown below is a gear train constructed by combining the drive unit and scanner frame ASSY. The motor rotation is transmitted via the planet gear 20B (C1) to the gear 16 (D) and via the gear 16/24 (K) to the separation roller gear (L).

2.3.2

Description of planetary gear system The planetary gear train consists of the sun gear 18/82, two planet gears 20, arm A, and arm B, as shown below.

Stopper of arm A Motor gear

Sun gear 18/82

Planet gear 20A

Planet gear 20B Arm A

Arm B

Planetary Gear System

If the motor rotates, the sun gear 18/82 rotates so that the rotational torque is transmitted to the engagement between the sun gear and the planet gears 20. Since the arms and planet gears are so designed that the moment of the arms is less than that of the planet gears, the arms turn around the center shaft in the same direction as the sun gear 18/82. If the planet gear(s) becomes engaged with any other gear so that the arm cannot turn any more, the rotational torque of the sun gear 18/82 is transmitted to that planet gear. Accordingly, the planet gear starts rotation in the opposite direction of the sun gear 18/82.

III ­ 7

2.3.3

Power transmission for four operation modes Depending upon the solenoid ON/OFF state and the motor rotation direction, the planetary gear train switches the power transmission route for the four operation modes.

Recording mode (Solenoid: OFF, Motor rotation: Forward) In the recording mode, the control electronics deactivates the solenoid. When the motor rotates in the forward direction, the clutch arm turns clockwise with the spring and its cutout X becomes engaged with the stopper of arm A. Once arm A is locked, the planet gear 20A (C2) will not be engaged with any other gear but simply idle. The motor rotation turns the sun gear 18/82 (B) counterclockwise so that the planet gear 20B (C1) transmits the rotation via the gears D through G to the platen gear (H).

Scanning mode (Solenoid: OFF, Motor rotation: Reverse) Just as in the recording mode, the control electronics deactivates the solenoid in the scanning mode to lock arm A. The motor rotates in the reverse direction and the sun gear 18/82 (B) rotates clockwise so that the planet gear 20B (C1) transmits the rotation to the separation roller gear (L) and white pressure roller gear (O) via the several gears.

Copying mode (Solenoid: ON©OFF, Motor rotation: Forward) The control electronics at first activates the solenoid to release the stopper of arm A from the cutout X of the clutch arm while rotating the motor in the forward direction. Accordingly, the sun gear 18/82 (B) rotates counterclockwise so that both the planet gears 20B (C1) and 20A (C2) transmit the rotation; C1 rotation to the platen gear (H) and C2 rotation to the separation roller gear (L) and white pressure roller gear (O). Once the planet gear 20A (C2) becomes engaged with gear K, the control electronics deactivates the solenoid.

Cutter driving mode (Solenoid: ON, Motor rotation: Reverse) The control electronics activates the solenoid to release the stopper of arm A from the clutch arm. When the motor rotates in the reverse direction, the sun gear 18/82 (B) rotates clockwise so that the planet gear 20A (C2) transmits the rotation to the cutter gear (Q) via gear P. Since the planet gear 20B (C1) is blocked by the section Y of the clutch arm, it is merely idle without engaging with any other gear.

The cutter gear (Q) is a two-stepped gear whose inside gear is a one-tooth sector gear. While the cutter gear (Q) rotates by one turn for one stroke of the upper blade of the cutter, the one-tooth sector gear slightly turns the platen gear (H) clockwise via the reverse gear (I) to feed the recording paper back into the equipment. This prevents the upper blade of the cutter from scratching the leading edge of the remaining paper.

· ·

Document front sensor which detects the presence of documents. Document rear sensor which detects the leading and trailing edges of pages to tell the control circuitry when the leading edge of a new page has reached the starting position and when the scan for that page is over.

These photosensors are of a reflection type consisting of a light-emitting diode and a lightsensitive transistor. Each of them has an actuator separately arranged (see the next page). When an actuator is not activated, its white end lies in the path of light issued from the lightemitting diode and reflects its light into the light-sensitive transistor. If a document is fed in so as to activate the actuator, the actuator's white end goes out of the light path. With no reflected light to go into the light-sensitive transistor, the sensor detects the presence of documents. · · · · PE sensor which detects when the recording paper runs out. Cover sensor which detects whether the control panel is closed. Hook switch sensor which detects whether the handset is placed on the handset mount. Cutter HP sensor which detects the home position of the upper rotary blade of the automatic cutter.

Each of these four sensors has an actuator separately arranged (see the next page). If an actuator is activated, its lower end releases or pushes down the lever provided on the corresponding sensor so that the sensor signals the detection.

Power Supply PCB
The power supply uses the switching regulation system to generate DC power (+26.6V and +8V) from a commercial AC power supply. The +26.6V source is stabilized and fed to the motor and solenoid for feeding documents and recording paper or activating the automatic cutter, and also fed to the CIS LED array. It is also fed to the main PCB where the H26.6V source is generated. The H26.6V source outputs 26.6V only when the H26.6V ON/OFF control signal is High, for driving the recording head. The +8V source is not stabilized and fed to the speaker. It is also fed to the main PCB where the 3-terminal regulator eliminates unstabilized components of the +8V source to generate stabilized +5V source. The +5V source is fed to the logic, control panel, and sensors.

1. DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
s Safety Precautions To prevent the creation of secondary problems by mishandling, observe the following precautions during maintenance work. (1) (2) (3) (4) Always turn off the power before replacing parts or units. When having access to the power supply, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Be careful not to lose screws, washers, or other parts removed for parts replacement. When using soldering irons and other heat-generating tools, take care not to damage the resin parts such as wires, PCBs, and covers. Before handling the PCBs, touch a metal portion of the equipment to discharge static electricity; otherwise, the electronic parts may be damaged due to the electricity charged in your body. When transporting PCBs, be sure to wrap them in conductive sheets such as aluminum foil. Be sure to reinsert self-tapping screws correctly, if removed. Tighten screws to the torque values listed on the next page. When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, hold the connector bodies not the cables. If the connector has a lock, always slide the connector lock to unlock it. Before reassembly, apply the specified lubricant to the specified points. (Refer to Section 2 in this chapter.) After repairs, check not only the repaired portion but also that the connectors and other related portions function properly before operation checks.

Basically, the maintenance-mode functions listed on the previous page should be accessed by service personnel only. However, you may allow end users to access some of these under the guidance of service personnel (e.g., by telephone). The user-accessible functions (codes 10, 11, 12, 82, 87 and 91) are shaded in the table given on the previous page. Function code 10 accesses the firmware switches WSW01 to WSW37, each of which has eight selectors. You should not allow end users to access all of those selectors, but you may allow them to access user-accessible selectors which are shaded in the firmware switch tables in Subsection 3.5. The service personnel should instruct end users to follow the procedure given below. (1) FAX255/FAX275/FAX355MC/FAX375MC: Press the Function and Mode keys in this order. FAX-515/FAX-525DT/FAX-525MC/HOMEFAX3: Press the Menu and Mode keys in this order. The LCD clears the current display. NOTE: The Mode key is inoperable during standby for redialing and timer. (2) Press the 0 key. (3) Enter the desired function code (10, 11, 12, 82, 87, or 91) with the numerical keys. For function code 10, access the desired firmware switch according to the operating procedure described in Subsection 3.5. (4) To make the equipment return to the standby state, press the Stop key.

3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE-MODE FUNCTIONS
3.1 n EEPROM Parameter Initialization Function The equipment initializes the parameters, user switches, and firmware switches registered in the EEPROM, to the initial values. Entering the function code 01 initializes all of the EEPROM areas, but entering 91 does not initialize some areas, as listed below. Function code Data item Maintenance-mode functions User switches Firmware switches Remote activation code Activity report Distinctive ringing patterns registered Station ID data Outside line number Remote access code FAX forwarding/paging Telephone function registration One-touch dialing Speed dialing Group dialing EEPROM customizing code (4-digit) All of these will be initialized These will not be initialized

91

These will be initialized

This will not be initialized. (Note that the first digit of the 4-digit code will be initialized to "0." If the code is 1001, for example, it will be initialized to 0001.)

NOTE: If you replace the main PCB with one used for other facsimile equipment, carry out this procedure and then customize the EEPROM (maintenance-mode function code 74 in Section 3.11).

3.2 n

Printout of Scanning Compensation Data Function The equipment prints out the white and black level data for scanning compensation.

n

Operating Procedure Do not start this function merely after powering on the equipment but start it after carrying out a sequence of scanning operation. Unless the equipment has carried out any scanning operation, this function cannot print out correct scanning compensation data. This is because at the start of scanning operation, the equipment initializes white and black level data and takes in the scanning compensation reference data. (1) Press the 0 and 5 keys in this order in the initial stage of the maintenance mode. The "WHITE LEVEL 1" will appear on the LCD. (2) The equipment prints out the scanning compensation data list containing the following: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) j) k) White level data (208 bytes) Black level data (1 byte) Initial clamp PWM value (1 byte) Clamp PWM value (1 byte) Compensation data for background color (1 byte) Limitation value for compensation data (1 byte) Initial LED light intensity value (1 byte) LED light intensity value (1 byte) LED light intensity value on the platen and documents (2 bytes) Threshold value on the platen (1 byte) Document rear sensor adjustment value (1 byte
