9.4 Developer Motor (M11)
9.4.1 Construction
The developer motor (M11) is a motor drives the following movements:
• Lifting movement by rotating the lifting cam in the black developer unit
• Rotational movement of magnet roller in the black developer unit
• Rotational movement of toner supply auger in the color developer unit
• Rotational movement of magnet roller in the color developer unit
Each movement is performed by drive transmission from the developer motor (M11) through the gears
and clutches.
The revolver unit contains three color developer units. The developer motor (M11) drives the color
developer unit only at the developing position; it means each developer unit does not have its own
drive. When the revolver rotates, the clutch turns OFF so that the drive of the developer motor (M11)
will not be transmitted and a damage to the gear will be prevented.
