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.
