6.4.1. IMAGE DATA FLOW DURING FACSIMILE OPERATION
COPY (Fine, Super-Fine, Half Tone)
1. White plate information is read by the CCD (to be used as the reference white level) via route 1, and the result is input to
IC501. Refer to the block diagram on the following page.
2. In IC501, the data is adjusted to a suitable level for A/D conversion in the Analog Signal Processing Section, and via route
2 it is input to A/D conversion (8 bit). After finishing A/D conversion, the data is input to the Image Processing Section via
route 3. Then via routes 4 and 5, it is stored in RAM as shading data.
3. The draft's information that is read by CCD is input to IC501 via route 1. After adjusting it to a suitable level for A/D
conversion via route 2, the draft's information is converted to A/D (8 bit), and it is input to the Image Processing Section. The
other side, the shading data which flows from RAM via route 6 and 7, is input to the Image Processing Section. After
finishing the draft's information image processing, white is regarded as "0" and black is regarded as "1". Via routes 4 and
5 , they are stored in RAM.
4. The white/black data stored as above via routes 6 and 8 , is input to the P/S converter. The white/black data converted to
serial data in the P/S converter is input to the Thermal Head via route 9 and is printed out on recording paper.
Note:
Standard : Reads 3.58 times/mm
Fine : Reads 7.7 times/mm
Super-Fine : Reads 15.4 times/mm
Transmission
1. Same processing as COPY items 1) - 3).
2. The data stored in the RAM of IC501 is output from IC501 via routes 6 and 10 , and is stored in the system bus. Via route
11 , it is stored in the communication buffer inside DRAM (IC503).
3. While retreiving data stored in the communication buffer synchronous with the modem, the CPU (inside IC501) inputs the
data to the modem along route 12 , where it is converted to serial analog data and forwarded over the telephone lines via
the NCU Section.
Reception
1. The serial analog image data is received over the telephone lines and input to the modem via the NCU section, where it is
demodulated to parallel digital data. Then the CPU (IC501) stores the data in the communication buffer DRAM (IC503)
along route 12.
2. The data stored in DRAM (IC503) is decoded by the CPU (IC501) via route 12 , and is stored in DRAM (IC503) via routes
13 and 5.
3. Same processing as COPY item 4).
