11.2 FUSING DRIVE MECHANISM
Drive from the main motor [A] is transmitted to the hot roller [B] through idle
gears and a timing belt. The hot roller always rotates while the main motor
rotates.
The fusing unit drive release mechanism automatically disengages the fusing
drive gear [C] when the front cover [D] is opened. This allows the fusing unit
drive gear to rotate freely so that misfed paper can be easily removed.
When the front cover is opened, the actuator plate [E] pulls the release wire
[F]. The wire pulls the fusing unit gear bracket [G] and the fusing unit drive is
disengaged.
