2.2.5 MEMORY CONTROLLER AND ENHANCED MEMORY BOARD
(EMB)
The BICU consists of the memory controller and the DRAM. The functions of each
device are as follows.
Memory Controller:
DRAM (standard 20MB):
The data goes to the memory controller after binary picture processing or grayscale
processing. The data is first compressed and then stored in the DRAM. For
printing, the data from the DRAM goes back to the memory controller, where it is
decompressed and image editing is done (e.g., image rotation, repeat image).
The memory capacity changes after installing optional memory on the BICU board,
as follows.
