Formatter system

The formatter is responsible for the following procedures:

Controlling Sleep mode

Receiving and processing scan data

Monitoring control-panel functions and relaying digital-sender status information (through the control panel and the network)

Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the scanner controller board

Communicating over the network

The formatter provides the electrical interface and mounting locations for one EIO card, one memory DIMM, and the hard-disk drive. The formatter also provides two internal USB host ports (for third-party devices), one external USB host port, and one external USB device port.

Sleep mode

This feature conserves power after the digital sender has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When the digital sender is in Sleep mode, the control-panel backlight is turned off, but the digital sender retains all settings. The default setting is for Sleep mode to be enabled, and the digital sender enters the Sleep mode after a 30-minute idle time. Sleep mode can also be turned off from the Administration menu.

The digital sender exits Sleep mode and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following occurs:

A PML or PJL command is received

You touch the control-panel touchscreen or press a key on the keyboard or a button on the control panel

The top cover is opened

Media is placed in the input tray

NOTE: Digital-sender error messages override the Sleep message. The digital sender enters Sleep mode at the appropriate time, but the error message continues to appear.

CPU

The formatter incorporates a 480 MHz RISC processor.
