1st transfer roller retraction operation
1. Rotation of the Transport motor is transmitted by a gear train to the 1st image trans-
fer pressure/retraction clutch.
2. Rotation of the 1st image transfer pressure/retraction clutch turns the pressure
cam, which moves the sliding plate.
3. As the sliding plate moves, the retraction lever turns.
4. As the retraction lever turns, the 1st transfer roller is retracted from the transfer belt.
