Astra 1220U Electronic Systems
The Astra 1220U consists of several electronic component systems which work together when a document
is scanned. The systems and their functions are described as follows (see Fig. 2-1 below).
A scanning lamp to illuminate the document.
An optical system that uses mirrors and lenses (the optical system) to focus the reflected light from the
surface of the document onto a Charged Coupled Device (CCD).
A mechanical system that uses a stepping motor attached to a gear assembly. The gear assembly drives
a timing belt to move the optical assembly (carriage) when scanning.
A photo-electrical conversion system, using a CCD which produces a string of analog electrical signals
representing a straight line image of a document.
An image processing system that converts the analog signals from the CCD into digital signals.
An interface board to connect the control signals of control circuit to image processing unit, the optical
system and transmission subsystem.

Service Manual
The Opto-Mechanical
The opto-mechanical system consists of the following (see Fig. 2-2 below):
Three mirrors to guide the optical path from the document being scanned to the image sensor.
One lense to focus and reduce the size of the image.
Resolution of Lens is 600dpi.
A support chassis for the mounting of mirrors, lens mount, and CCD.
A stepping motor, gear train, and timing belt to move the optical system.
Note: Please be sure to keep all dirt, dust, moisture, and oil away from the optical system. Any small spot
in the optical system will adversely affect the image quality.
