2.5.7 DRIVE
GEAR ASSY HOUSING
The GEAR ASSY HOUSING consists of gear trains that transmit the driving force
from the MAIN MOTOR, which generates the drive of the printer body, to various
parts of the printer.
GEAR ASSY PLATE
Transmits the driving force from the MAIN MOTOR to the Imaging Cartridge.
LEVER LINK
This mechanism disconnects and connects the transmission of driving force from the
MAIN MOTOR of the FUSER ASSY. When the COVER OPEN is opened, the
LEVER LINK pushes up the Gear 8 in the GEAR ASSY HOUSING to disengage it
from the GEAR 9 so that the driving force transmission to the FUSER ASSY gets
disconnected. In addition, the LEVER LINK moves up and down and via the LINK
GEAR 3, the Gear 4 in the GEAR ASSY PLATE moves right and left to connect/
disconnect transmission of driving force to the Drum in the Imaging Cartridge.
