1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to be used by the maintenance engineers. It describes areas to be maintained,
the detailed installation, the disassembly of optional ADF, and the component replacement procedures as
well as the main trouble shooting guides.
Please take your time to read this manual thoroughly to obtain comprehensive knowledge about the
DOCUMATE 250 before serving the unit.
(1) Before trying to disassemble the DOCUMATE 250, make sure the power supply cord of the
DOCUMATE 250 is disconnected from the power outlet. Under any circumstance, do not remove
or install the connectors on the DOCUMATE 250 with the power supply turned ON.
(2) Use caution not to drop small parts or screws inside the unit when disassembling and
reassembling. If left inside, they might cause the malfunction of the unit.
(3) Do not pull the connector cable when disconnecting it. Hold the connector.
(4) When carrying the scanning head unit, put it in an anti-static bag.
(5) Keep the document table glass surface always clean. If contaminated, use a dry clean cloth for
cleaning.
(6) Use caution not to injure your fingers or hands when disassembling or reassembling the unit.

The reflected ray of the original, as shown in the above Figure 4.1 pass through the lens and creates an
image on the CCD (Charged Coupled Device). Then, according to the different light intensity perceived
by the CCD, the CCD will transfer these data into a series of analog signals to the main board, where the
signals are turned into digital signals. These digital signals flow to the USB 2.0 Controller to transfer to a
host computer.

This DOCUMATE 250 is controlled by the 80C32. The 80C32 is configured with a 64-KB
external ROM program area, a 256-BYTE internal RAM work area, a 64-KB external RAM work
area, 2 timer / counters, 4 I/O ports, 2 external interrupts, and 2 internal interrupts for 2 internal

The CCD signal processor includes all the necessary circuitry to perform three-channel
conditioning and sampling. The signal chain consists of three-channel correlated double
sampling (CDS) and programmable gain adjustment of the CCD output (PGA) is a 16 bit
analog to digital connector (ADC) quantizes the analog signal.

5. PROBLEM SOLVING
5.1 Diagnostics
5.2 Troubleshooting
This chapter supplies two paths for dealing with operational problems. The first relies on the
DOCUMATE 250’s internal diagnostics. The second uses troubleshooting flowcharts and tables to
isolate the problem. In many cases, the internal diagnostics will help you to locate the source of
the problem quickly. Use these diagnostics first. If the diagnostics do not locate the source of the
problem, refer to Section 5.2 Troubleshooting.
5.1 Diagnostics
The DOCUMATE 250 has internal diagnostics to help you determine the cause of operational
problems. Some of the diagnostics function with the scanner online, while others are part of a
separate offline diagnostics feature.
If the ADF cover is open, close it. For the group errors, see the flowcharts later in this section.
5-1
DOCUMATE 250
To run the offline diagnostics, and turn the power back on. When you first turn the scanner back
on, the READY light will blink, indicating that the diagnostics are in progress. Observe the front
panel Errpr LED closely. In a short time, the Error LED indicates the results of the offline
diagnostics as explained in the table below.
For SRAM & DRAM error, refer to Main Control PCBA Replacement in Chapter 4. For the Group 2 error,
see the flowchart in the following section.
To return the scanner to online operation, turn off the scanner, turn the scanner back on.
5-2
DOCUMATE 250
Use the flowcharts that follow to determine the exact problem when either the online or offline
diagnostics indicate a group error. Refer to Chapter 4 for parts replacement.
This flowchart applies when the Error LED blinks 6 times the same while, with the scanner
offline.
