1.4. OVERALL MACHINE CONTROL
The FCU (Facsimile Control Unit) contains the FCIP (Facsimile Control and
Image Processor), DRAM, SRAM, System ROM, and video processing mem-
ory, and controls the entire system.
The FCIP consists of the following component blocks:
• MDM - Modem• RU8 CPU - Main CPU
• DIP - Digital Image Processor• LIF- Laser Interface
• CKG - Clock Generator• RTC - Real Time Clock
• DCR - Data Compression and Reconstruction
The 256KB DRAM contains the SAF memory, ECM buffer memory, and work
area.
A 512 KB (4 Mbit) EPROM is used for the system ROM.
Note: The LIF (Laser Interface) is the same circuit used for laser fax
machines, adapted for use in thermal fax machines.
