1.3 RECEIVER THEORY OF OPERATION

1.3.01 Operator Panel
Through the operator panel, the user initiates manual receive operations and sets auto-answer options.
1.3.02 Line Interface Board
The line interface board provides the RJ-11 connection used to receive data from the PSTN, PBX, or
Leased Line.
1.3.03 Network Control Board (NCU)
The network control unit receives the modulated data from the line interface board and sends it to the
modem (located on the main control board). The operation of the network control unit in the receive mode
is very similar to the transmit mode. However, during receive operations, the network control unit also
functions as an amplifier for the received signal.
1.3.04 Modem
The modem demodulates the data from the G3 (14.4, 12, 9.6, 7.2, 4.8, or 2.4K bps) scheme that was
determined during handshaking. The data is then sent to the RAM memory for temporary storage. The
storage time is dependent on whether the machine is printing real-time or from memory.
1.3.05 Decoder
The decoder decodes the MH, MR, or MMR data from the RAM into lines of picture data that are 1,728
bits in length. After the data has been received, demodulated, and decoded, it is transferred to the printer
control board.
1.3.06 Document Size
Since the available printing area of the printer is smaller than the paper size, document contents may be
missed on both sides of the paper, or a document image having the same length as the printing paper
may be split into separate pages during printing. To prevent this, the unit automatically sets the proper
reduction ratio within the range of 76 to 100% if the RX REDUCTION function has been set ON. If a
received document image is longer than the available printing length, the excess part of the image is
eliminated. If the SPLIT PRINT function has been set ON, the excess image will be printed on the next
page.
