[A]
In the A133 machine, the main motor drives the development roller and the toner
supply roller. However, in this machine, the development drive motor [A] drives the
development drive gear [B], which drives the gears in the development unit and the
toner supply roller, which is driven by the gear [C] when the toner supply clutch [D]
activates.
This reduces the main motor torque.
