CAUTION
A high-precision gear is used for the PF roller drive
gear. Therefore, if the PF roller drive gear has been
removed, it must not be used again. Neglecting this
may cause a printer malfunction.
When installing a new PF roller drive gear, be sure to
push it intensively by its center area, not forcing a
push by its edge.
