When the drum release lever [A] in front of the machine is raised, the
connector [B] is pushed away from the drum (disconnected) by the bracket
[C] through the link [D]. The connector moves only horizontally due to the
guidance of the shafts [E]. The bracket [C] will also push the drum lock lever
[F] to release the drum lock, allowing the drum to be removed.
While the drum is out of home position, the drum lock solenoid [G] is
energized and the stopper [H] will lock the link [D]. The solenoid is
de-energized when the drum stops at the home position (1st drum home
position sensor is actuated).
