Sub Drive
Main Drive
Feed Drive
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.
