3.1 DRUM CONNECTION MECHANISM

[A]
[D]
[H]
When the drum release lever [A] in front of the machine is raised, the
connector [B] is pushed away from the drum by the bracket [C] through the
link [D], and is disconnected. The connector will only move 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] so that it cannot be pulled.
The solenoid is de-energized when the drum is stopped at the home position
(when the 1st drum home position sensor is actuated).
