Switchback guide movable mechanism
• The movable lever rotates driven by the fusing motor to push down the switchback guide.
When the guide reaches to the bottom, the lever cannot be driven due to the torque lim-
iter between the movable lever axis and the gear. The guide goes back to the upper posi-
tion with the spring that rotates the gear backward and pushes up the switchback guide.
