OUTLINE This manual has been written to provide guidance for troubleshooting of the OKIPAGE 10ex Printer (primarily for its printed circuit boards), based on the assumption that the reader has a thorough knowledge concerning the printer. Read the maintenance manual for this printer, if necessary.
Its block diagram is shown in Fig. 3-1 . (1) Reception control The OKIPAGE 10ex Printer can be equipped with one I/F port by adding an RS232C I/F option board in addition to the Centronics I/F on the main control board.

EEPROM Control The 93LC46A is an electrical erasable/programmable ROM of 64-bit x 16-bit configuration. Data input to and output from the ROM are bidirectionally transferred in units of 16 bits through a serial I/O port (SSTXD-P) in serial transmission synchronized with a clock signal from the CPU. The EEPROM operates in the following instruction modes SSTXD-P EEPRMCS0-P...
Centronics Parallel Interface The CPU sets a BUSY-P signal to ON at the same time when it reads the parallel data (PDATA1- P to PDATA 8-P) from the parallel port at the fall of PSTB-N signal. Furthermore, it makes the store processing of received data into a receive buffer terminate within a certain fixed time and outputs an ACK-N signal, setting the BUSY-P signal to OFF.
Page 14
Operator Panel Control The operator panel consists of the following circuits. OLCC-2 Main control board PANEL BU6152S SSTXD-P 44780 DB4~DB7 SSRXD-P Control Driver SSCLK-N SSLD-N Zebra Rubber Flexible Cable (1) BU6152S (LSI) This LSI is connected to a clock synchronous serial port of the CPU. It controls switch data input, LED data output and LCD data input/output according to the commands given by the CPU.
Page 15
LED Head Control An LED correcting head, which is capable of correcting the illumination of the LED for each dot, is being used in this printer. LED illumination correction function of 16 steps is carried out by using an EEPROM which is installed in the LSI that maintains the LED illumination correction values, and an LED correction drivers (MSM6731BWAF or MSM6732BWAF) together as a pair.

Motor Control (1) Registration and main (drum) motors A registration motor and a drum motor are driven by means of control signals from the CPU and a driver IC. Main Control Board +38V A2918SW DMPH1-P DMPH1-N 1 Main (Drum) Motor DMPH2-P DMPH1-P 2 DMPH2-N 3...
(3) Registration motor RMON-N RMPH1-P RMPH2-P Stop Forward rotation Reverse rotation Rotation Hopping drive Registration roller drive Operation at normal speed: T0 to T3 = 1.016 ms (4) Drive control Time T0 to T3 determines the motor speed, while the difference of phase direction between phase signals DMPH1-P and DMPH2-P (RMPH1-P and RMPH2-P) determines the rotation direction.
Fuser Temperature Control For the temperature control by heater control, the variation in the resistance of the thermistor is A/D converted in IC2 and the resultant digital value is read and transferred to the CPU. The CPU turns on or off the HEATON-N signal according to the value of the signal received from IC2 to keep the temperature at a constant level.
Page 20
The temperature control is described below. Temperature ˚C HEATON-N 176˚C * The values V1 and V2 vary according to setting mode. 175˚C (Standard temperature) When Vt rises to V2 or more, the heater is turned off (by setting HEATON-N signal to LOW). When Vt drops to V1 or less, the heater is turned on (by setting HEATON-N signal to HIGH).
Page 21
For heater breakdown detection, the heater must first be turned on. When a temperature rise which corresponds to the switching on of the heater does not occur, then a heater breakdown is detected. To shorten the breakdown detection time, the following circuit is used. Immediately after the power is turned on, the thermistor is checked and THERM-CMP signal is turned on to turn the resistor Q44 on.
3.10 Fan Motor Control The stop/rotation of the fan motor is controlled by FANON1-P and FANON2-N signals. When the fan motor rotates normally, FANALM-P signal generated in the hole element built in the fan motor is input to the CPU. TR503 R554 TR504...
3.11 Cover Open When the cover is opened, a cover open microswitch is opened. This makes a CVOPN-N signal low, thereby the CPU detects the open state. Furthermore, opening the cover stops applying a +5V power to the high voltage power supply unit, resulting in stopping all high voltage outputs. Main Control Board Power Supply Board High...
3.12 Power Supply Board (1) Low voltage power supply An AC power from an inlet is input to a transformer via fuses, AC switch and noise filter and then lowered to a 32 VAC power and a 10 VAC power. The 32 VAC power is converted to a +38 VDC output through a rectifying/smoothing circuit.

(4) High-voltage power supply circuit This high-voltage power supply circuit receives the high-voltage generation timing control command that is transmitted in serial through the power supply interface from the control section. It decodes this command by LSI (IC2) and outputs high-frequency pulses to the corresponding high-voltage generating circuits through pins 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of LSI (IC2).

3.13 Option Tray Control The kinds of option trays, High capacity Second Paper Feeder and Multi purpose Feeder can be connected to the printer. The trays are distinguished by two digit ID numbers. The option trays and the printer communicate with each other through bi-directional clock synchoronized serial interface.
