2. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
OKIPAGE12iconsistsofa maincontrolboard,apower supply/sensorboard,an operatorpanel,
an electrophotographic process mechanism, and revision for illumination of LED head.
The main control board receives data via the host I/F, it then decodes, edits and stores the data
in memory. After completing the editing of a single page of data, it references the font memory
and generates bit image data, which is transferred to the LED head in one dot line units.
Through the electrophotographic process mechanism, the data is printed on the paper.
The operator panel is used for operations and status display.
OKIPAGE 12i block diagram is shown in Figure 2-1.

2.1 Main Control Board
The main control board consists of a single chip CPU, two program/font ROMs, two DRAMs, an
EEPROM, a host interface circuit, and a mechanism driving circuit.
(1) Single chip CPU
The single chip CPU is a custom CPU (32-bit internal bus, 32-bit external bus, 40.55-MHz
clock(20.75 MHzx2)whichincorporatestheRISCCPUanditsperipheraldevices,andhas
the following functions:
(2) Program and Font ROMs
TheProgramandFontROMsstoretheequipmentprogramandvarioustypesoffonts. Mask
ROM is used as Program and Font ROMs. The mounting locations of these Program and
Font ROMs vary depending on the type of the ROMs (for the mounting location see Section
7.4).
(3) DRAM
The DRAM is a 4MB resident memory on the main control board that stores edited data,
image data, DLL data and macro data.
(4) EEPROM
4,096-bitElectricallyErasable PROM(EEPROM),is loadedwiththefollowingkinds ofdata:
•Menu data
•Various counter data (page counter, drum counter)
•Adjusting parameters (LED head drive time, print start position, paper feed length)
(5) Parallel Interface
Parallel data is received from a host system via parallel interface which conforms to the
IEEE1284 specification.
