= Finger Pressing Motion =
The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers are pressed against the surface of the
PC Drum by Separator Finger Solenoid as it is energized at a timing to separate
paper from the surface of the PC Drum.
When the Separator Finger Solenoid is energized, part A of the Actuating Lever
is raised. This moves the lower part of the lever in the direction of the arrow.
Since the Finger Shaft is connected to the Actuating Lever at B, the Paper Sepa-
rator Fingers are turned counterclockwise. This brings the fingers into contact
with the surface of the PC Drum. The pressure the Paper Separator Fingers
exert against the surface of the PC Drum is maintained at approx. 1g.
When the Separator Finger Solenoid is deenergized, the Actuating Lever is low-
ered by the tension of the spring. This results in the Finger Shaft being turned
clockwise, causing the Paper Separator Fingers to be moved away from the sur-
face of the PC Drum.
