2.2.6 OPTIONAL MEMORY BOARD

The optional memory board, or editing function board, has 4-Mbyte RAM, which
corresponds to the amount of memory required for an A3 original. This enables the
following image editing functions.
- Memory Combine Mode -
Combined images of 4, 8, or 16 originals are printed on the same sheet of paper.
- Overlay -
Overlay merges two different originals onto the same sheet of paper.
- Stamp Printing Mode -
This mode enables stamping modes such as, the date, page number, preset
message, and user custom stamps.
- Make-up Printing Mode -
The user makes command sheets to specify how various areas of the original will
be processed. The user must be sure to scan the command sheets before the
original. The image-processing chip in the MPU modulates the image data for the
command sheet and then stores the modulated command data on the memory
board.
The image data for the original is also converted and modulated. The MPU edits
the modulated image data, the stored command area data, and the background
pattern.
Positive/Negative can be used with this mode.
- Report Print Mode -
This mode prints the following data:
• User reports
• Jam and error counter data
• The number of people in each class set by the user
• Number of prints and masters for each user code account
• SP mode data for service
- Image Rotation Mode -
When the orientation for the original differs from the paper selected, the machine
automatically rotates the original image 90 degrees to match the paper orientation.
SP 2-150 can disable this mode.
