1.5.2. Reception
Data from the line passes to the modem through the NCU and hybrid IC. Af-
ter the modem demodulates the data, the data passes to the DCR block,
through either the FIFO or the ECM memory, where the data is decom-
pressed to raster image data. At the same time, the compressed data passes
to the SAF memory as a backup in case of mechanical problems during print-
ing (substitute reception).
The raster image data is then passed to the page memory for printing. After a
page of data has been stored in the page memory, the data is sent to the
LDDR through the LIF block.
