15.2. Gear Section

This model provides a motor-driven gear mechanism for transmitting/copying documents and printing fax data. In this chapter,
you will see how the gears work to select and operate a mode and how the gear section, sensors and rollers mechanically work
during the main operations (FAX transmission, FAX reception and Copy).

15.2.1. Mode Selection

When a motor with Drive Motor Gear attached rotates clockwise (CW), Swing Gear E engages CAM Gear to rotate clockwise
(CW). This operation provide five mode options (A: Transmit mode, B: Paper-Pickup mode, C: Assist mode D: Receive mode
and E: Copy mode) selected by the Sensor Switch. (The Sensor Switch Lever's position in the CAM Gear controlled by the soft-
ware selects a specific mode.) You can see which mode is selected by confirming the Mode Marker's position as shown in
Fig. 1.
(Ex. If the Mode Marker is in position A, a transmit mode is selected.)
