Chapter 6 Principle of Operation
5.6 Drive
GEAR ASSY HOUSING
This housing is composed of gears for transmitting power from the MAIN MOTOR that drives the
printer body to various portions of the printer.
GEAR ASSY PLATE
This transmits power from the MAIN MOTOR to the EP CARTRIDGE.
LEVER LINK
This connects and disconnects the power from the MAIN MOTOR to the FUSER ASSY. When the
COVER OPEN is opened, the LEVER LINK pushes up the Gear 8 in the GEAR ASSY HOUSING,
and disconnects the GEAR 9. Thus, the power path to the FUSER ASSY is disconnected. As the
LEVER LINK moves up and down, the Gear 4 in the GEAR ASSY PLATE moves right and left via
the LINK GEAR 3, and power to the Drum of the EP CARTRIDGE is connected or disconnected.
