Theory of Operation
Drive Assembly
The Drive Assembly consists of three major sections:
■ Main Drive Assembly
Supplies drive to the Drums (C, M, Y, K), Transfer Belt, Registration 
Rollers, and Feeder Assembly.
■ Sub Drive Assembly
Supplies drive to the Fuser and Developers (C, M, Y, K).
■ Feed Drive Assembly
The Feed Drive Assy transmits the driving force from the Sub Drive 
Assembly to relevant parts.
The drive path is changed by the Color Mode Switching Solenoid in the 
Feed Drive Assy to allow drive from the Main Drive Assy to reach only the 
Black Developer. This is done to ensure that the Sub Drive Assembly 
cannot rotate the Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan Developers during B/W 
printing.
The Color Mode Switching Sensor detects whether the drive path is set 
for B/W or full color.
