2.4 Scanner

Figure 2–10 shows the circuits and components within the scanner assembly.

When the printer is powered on, the DC control board generates the scanner
clock (

SCNCLK

) signal that regulates the speed of the scanner motor. The

scanner motor does not run until a print command is received.

When

V SY NC

is received, the DC control board asserts the following signals

to turn on the scanner and laser:

•

SCANON

to run the scanner motor

•

ENBL

to enable the laser diode

•

LON

to force the laser diode on

When the scanner motor is up-to-speed, the scanner ready (

SCNRDY

) signal

is sent to the DC control board. The following conditions cause a scanner
motor error:

•

SCNRDY

fails to assert within 20 seconds of

SCON

•

SCNRDY

negates (goes high) for longer then 2.5 seconds while the

scanner motor is running.

When the scanning beam passes the beam detect (BD) mirror, it reflects the
light into the beam detector, creating the

BDI

signal. The DC control board

receives

BDI

and sends

to the video controller board.

In response to

, the video controller transmits the video data out (

V DO

)

signal to the DC control board, which sends it to the laser driver as the

V DAT A

signal.

The automatic power control (APC) regulates controls the intensity of the laser
light.

To start the laser the DC control board first asserts the

LON

signal, then

incrementally increases the value of the APC output (

AP COUT

) signal. This

action slowly turns the laser on.

When the laser is on, a portion of the laser light strikes the adjacent photodiode
and creates the APC input (

AP CIN

) signal.

AP CIN

feeds back to the DC

control board, which uses it to control

AP COUT

and thus stabilize the

intensity of the laser beam.
