Glossary
Scanning When a facsimile broadcast is received and recorded, the recording of

the received image starts one dot by one dot from the left end of the paper.
When the recording reaches the right end, it is returned to the left end of
the paper again and the same operation is repeated until the image
recording is completed. This operation is called “scanning”.
Primary scanning Scan direction
Start of Secondary scanning

plotting Scanning direction
Recorded from left to right
Recording peper
Primary scanning Scanning in the horizontal direction as shown above

The JAX-91 records eight (8) dots per millimeter in the primary
scanning.
Secondary scanning Scanning in the vertical direction as shown above
Scanline density The number of scanlines plotted while the paper moves one millimeter in
the secondary scanning direction during the recording of received
signals.
Scan speed Primary scanning speed: for example, 120 primary scans per minute are
performed at 120 spm (scan per minute).
Index of cooperation (IOC)

If the text size transmitted from a broadcasting station is different from
the recording paper size on the receiving side, it is necessary to equal the
horizontal and vertical reduction or enlargement of the original text to
keep the correlation between both transmitting and receiving sides. The
correlative efficient is called “index of correlation”.
1
Halftone recording This is a method of representing the contrast of clouds in recording the
cloud photos taken by a meteorological satellite, in which the contrast is
represented by the difference in the density of black dots like in a
black/white photo in a newspaper.
Start signal The signal transmitted at the beginning of a FAX broadcast to indicate
the start of the broadcast.
The JAX-91 starts the automatic receiving when it receives this signal.
Phase signal The signal transmitted following the start signal, which is indicated at
the left end of the image when synchronization is made. This sync
signal is used for automatic receiving (AUTO) including automatic
setting of IOC and scan speed, semi-automatic receiving (SEMI AUTO)
and timer receiving.
Similar signal The signal is transmitted after the sync signal and appears at the same
position as the sync signal. In the JAX-91, this signal is used for phase
matching in the MANU receiving mode.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
1.1 Function
(1) Receiving frequency

The FAX broadcasts such as weather charts and marine chars transmitted in the
low-frequency band (80 to 160kHz) and in the high-frequency band (2 to 25MHz) are
received and recorded in recording paper.
(2) Recording system

The received FAX broadcasts are recorded on thermal recording paper in the solid-state
recording system using a thermal head.
(3) Various recording modes
① Automatic receiving mode (AUTO)

In the AUTO mode, all operations from startup through various settings, image
receiving and paper feed to stop of recording are automatically performed by the
remote signals from the broadcasting station. However, the halftone recording is
manually controlled.
② Semi-automatic receiving mode (SEMI AUTO)

In the SEMI AUTO mode, the index of cooperation (IOC), scan speed and halftone
are manually controlled, though the recording and stop are performed automatically.
③ Manual receiving mode (MANU)

When the equipment is in any other mode than the mode ① or ② (e.g. midway during
broadcasting), received images can forcedly be recorded manually as an extension of
the SEMI AUTO mode.
In the MANU mode, phase matching is made manually and adopts a unique system in
which the phase matching is completed momentarily.
④ Programmed receiving mode (TIMER)

Unattended operation linked with the internal timer is performed by programming
the program channel, start and stop times, startup mode, receiving frequency and
halftone recording.
3
(4) 16-gradation halftone recording
Cloud photos received from a weather satellite can be recorded in 16-gradation halftone
contrast.
(5) Fine-line compensation circuit

The equipment adopts a JRC’s original system to reproduce fine lines in maps and
latitude and longitude grids.
(6) Synthesizer-based receiver capable of storing 90 frequencies

Receiving frequencies can freely be preset from a ten-key pad and up to 90 frequencies
can be stored in the internal memory.
In addition, the preset frequencies can be swapped with others, allowing swift response
to any new broadcast or frequency change.
(7) Good receiving with radio interference detection

Radio interference such as multi-path echo, fading or disturbance which deteriorates
received image quality can be detected and indicated on the RCV MONITOR, allowing
the image quality to be checked without seeing the recorded image. This function
demonstrates a superior effect in selecting and determining a receiving frequency.
(8) Automatic frequency selection

A frequency on which the best receiving condition can be obtained is automatically
selected from 9 frequencies in the same group. This function has a superior effect in
programmed receiving because it is not needed to search a frequency for good receiving
condition.
(9) Internal clock

The equipment incorporates an internal clock as a timer for programmed receiving,
which indicates time.
(10) Printout
The stored 90 receiving frequencies and 15 programs can be printed out. This function
is useful for setting the programmed receiving and checking the stored receiving
frequencies.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION
4.1 Setting of Receiving Frequency
The JAX-91 Receiver is designed to receive facsimile broadcasts transmitted in the low
frequency band (80 to 160kHz) and in the high frequency band (2 to 25MHz).
Various broadcasting stations broadcast their different facsimile broadcasts
simultaneously on several different frequencies. The received image quality depends
upon the radio propagation conditions and the receiving conditions are not constant by
season, daytime or nighttime and receiving location. Therefore, the equipment must
be operated in keeping in mind that the best receiving frequency is not the same, but
that it should be changed according to the receiving conditions.
The JAX-91 is provided with an automatic frequency selection function to ensure that a
proper frequency for the best receiving conditions is selected to receive a good FAX
image.
4.1.1 Automatic Frequency Selection Function (for High Frequency Band)
The equipment is capable of automatically selecting a proper frequency for the best
receiving conditions by storing all the frequencies on which the same FAX broadcast
from a broadcasting station can be received, in the same channel group.
If the receiving conditions on a selected frequency become worse gradually, the
equipment performs the automatic selection of another frequency on which the good
receiving conditions are obtained.
To use this automatic frequency selection function, the frequencies on which the
same FAX image is broadcast simultaneously should be stored in the frequency
channels in the same group.
(1) Frequency Channel

A channel to store a frequency on which a FAX broadcast is transmitted is called a
frequency channel. A maximum of 9 frequencies can be stored in one channel
group, and a total of 90 frequencies can be stored in this equipment.
(2) Channel Group

There are 9 frequency channels in each channel group, in which a representative
frequency channel is called a group channel. The group channel can not store any
frequency.
20
The equipment is provided with the following combinations of group channels and
the frequency channels:
Group Channel Frequency Channels

00 01 ~ 09
10 11 ~ 19
20 21 ~ 29
30 31 ~ 39
40 41 ~ 49
50 51 ~ 59
60 61 ~ 69
70 71 ~ 79
80 81 ~ 89
90 91 ~ 99
(3) Setting Procedure

Store all the frequencies transmitted from a broadcasting station to broadcast FAX
images in the frequency channels in the same group.
For example, if the automatic frequency selection is performed for the FAX
broadcasts from JMH (to store the frequencies in group channel 00), execute the
following steps:
① Store 3622.5 kHz in the frequency channel 01.

② Store 7305.0 kHz in the frequency channel 02.
③ Store 13,597.0 kHz in the frequency channel 03.
④ Do not store any frequencies in the remaining frequency channels 04 to 09.
Push only the switch MI not to input other frequencies.
MEMO •● For the receiving frequency storing procedure, refer to “4.1.4 Storing
of Receiving Frequencies” in page 25.
● JMH is a call sign for FAX broadcasts in Japan.
NOTE ● If any frequencies from a different broadcasting station are stored in the
preset group for another station, no expected FAX broadcasts can be
received. Do not store such frequencies from a different station.
● The automatic frequency selection function is not available for the low
frequency band (80 to 160 kHz).
● The broadcasting frequencies may be subject to change.
Confirm by the latest broadcasting schedule.
21
(4) Operating Procedure
First, call the representative group channel for the frequency channels in which the
frequencies for the FAX broadcasts from a specific broadcasting station are stored.
For example, if FAX broadcasts are received from JMH in the same case as in “(3)
Setting Procedure” above, the operating procedure is as follows:
① Push the switch MI and push the numeric keys 0 0 in this turn.
This operation set the equipment to the automatic frequency selection mode, in
which a frequency for the good receiving conditions is selected automatically.
② If the automatic frequency selection is made again after the above operation, repeat
step ① again.
NOTE ● This function is operated when the internal receiver in the equipment is used.
● In operating this function, the frequency selection takes more or less time to
compare the receiving conditions on all the frequencies stored in the same
group. Thus, execute the operation about one minute earlier than the start
time of broadcasting.
● The receiving conditions on the automatically selected frequency are not
absolutely good because of the following circumstances:
(a) The radio propagation condition on the selected frequencies is
generally bad.
(b) The radio propagation condition is good only when the frequencies are
compared.
(c) The radio propagation condition on the automatically selected
frequencies becomes worse gradually.
MEMO ● This function can be used in all the four receiving modes (AUTO, SEMI
AUTO, MANU and Program) adopted in this equipment.
● This function can be used in the following cases:
(a) When the group channel is called by the switch MO and a numeric key.
(b) When the POWER switch is set to OFF in the automatic frequency
selection mode and then to ON.
(c) When the radio propagation condition on the receiving frequencies
becomes worse gradually.
22
4.1.2 Use of Tuning Meter and RCV Monitor
(1) Tuning Meter (for HF Band)

The Tuning Meter indicates the tuning condition of a receiving frequency on its
seven-segment LEDs. You need not use this tuning meter when the receiving
frequency is known because the receiver is of synthesizer type. This tuning meter is
useful when the receiving frequency is unknown (in SSB or other receiving) or
searched using an external receiver.
① Tuned state
TUNING
The central LED is lighting or the both ends
are blinking.
② Tuning range
Allowable tuning range
The tuning range is from all lighting LEDs
to the central LED indicating the tuning
point.
The shaded area
③ Detuned state indicates the lighting
LED.
All the LEDs are extinguished.
(2) RCV Monitor RCV

The lighting LED indicates the best
receiving condition.
The LED may be blinking or extinguished
for a receiving frequency. In this case, the
receiving frequency should be changed
over to select a frequency on which the
LED is lighting, or blinking at less blinking
times.
MEMO
The same FAX broadcast is transmitted mainly on several different frequencies in the
HF band. There are frequencies that are easy and difficult (or unable) to receive the
HF-band FAX broadcasts depending upon the season, a time span and a receiving
location. The frequencies vary at all times.
Even if a FAX broadcast can be received well in the daytime, it may be unable to be
received in the nighttime. In such case, the receiving frequency should be changed
to receive the FAX broadcast well.
23
4.1.3 Setting of Receiving Frequencies
It is necessary to preset a receiving frequency up to the digit of 100 Hz.

26
4.1.6 Use of UP/DOWN Switches
The UP/DOWN switches are used to increase or decrease a receiving frequency (as
indicated in the indicator) in 100-Hz steps.
UP switch: A receiving frequency is higher by an increment of 100Hz when pushing

the switch once.
DOWN switch: A receiving frequency is lower by an decrement of 100Hz when pushing
the switch once.
MEMO These switches can be used with the TUNING meter when searching for a
SSB or ISB frequency.
CAUTION When pushing the switch MI after the above operation, an indicated
frequency and channel may be stored and the stored frequency and
channel may be rewritten.
4.1.7 Use of CLR Switch
The switch CLR is used for the following operations:
① Clear the frequencies that are currently indicated.

② Release the reading from the memory.
③ Clear the frequencies and programs that are stored in the memory.
27
4.2 Setting FAX Receive Mode

The term “channel” has two meanings for purpose of the JAX-91 equipment. Take care
not to confuse these meanings.
① Frequency channel
A frequency channel means a memory location (channel No.) to store a receiving
frequency. This equipment has a capacity of storing a total of 90 channels (90
frequencies) from channel 01 to channel 99.
• The channel number with the least significant digit 0 means a group channel (e.g.
channel 00).
• No receiving frequency can be stored in a group channel.
② Program channel
A program channel means a memory location (program No.) to store a receiving
program. This equipment has a capacity of storing a total of 15 channels (15 programs)
from channel 00 to channel 14.
