d) Paper feed motor drive switching unit
Depending on the carriage position, the drive switching unit switches the paper feed
motor's drive power over to drive the purge unit or the auto-sheet feeder. The slide
arm that travels in sync with the carriage action controls the operation of the
selector flag.
When the purge unit is driven, the flag clamp on the slide arm secures the selector
flag. Turning the paper feed roller in the direction of paper feed transmits the
driving power to the purge unit's drive gear without causing the ASF drive gear to
turn. When the auto-sheet feeder is driven, the paper feed unit will be turned in the
opposite direction of paper feed once to allow the flag to move toward the slide arm
as the selector arm moves to the position where it supports the selector flag. With
the selector flag supported, turning the paper feed unit in the direction of paper feed
causes the ASF drive gear to start turning, and with it, pick-up operations
commence. When the slide arm moves out of the position where it supports the flag,
the ASF drive gear automatically stops turning when the pick-up action is complete.
