Mechanical Drive
Mechanical Drive is a term that is used to describe both the rotation of the printer motors
and the action of the gear clusters and clutches that are used to transmit and control
motor rotation to the various components throughout the printer. The primary purpose of
Mechanical Drive within the base printer is to drive a sheet of paper out of a selected
paper tray, through the printer synchronous with the photo conductor surface and into an
output tray. The Printhead Motor is not considered part of Mechanical Drive.
The Main Drive Motor turns the Main Drive Assembly gears. The Drum Motor turns a
separate set of gears within the Main Drive Assembly. The Main Drive Motor and Drive
Assembly provide drive to the Feed Clutches, the Registration Clutch, the Fuser, and the
Exit Clutches. The Drum Motor and Drive Assembly provide drive to the Drum and BTR.
Lift Motors supply drive to each paper tray; raising the Bottom Plate of each tray so the
paper stack contacts the Feed Rolls. The Offset Motor provides drive to the Offset Rolls.
