DRIVE MODULES
Rev. A
Drive ASSY. Main: Includes the Motor Assembly Main (Main Motor)
and the Gear Cluster. The Main Motor
generates the drive power, and the Gear Cluster
distributes the drive power to the Roll Assembly
Registration, Drum and BTR, and Drive
Assembly-F/P.
Drive ASSY.-F/P: Transmits the drive power from the Drive
Assembly Main to the Roll Assembly Exit Out
and the Roll Fuser (also called Heat Roll), Roll
Assembly Exit, and optional Duplex Unit. The
transmission of the drive power to the Roll Fuser
is switched on and off by a floating idler gear.
When the Cover Assembly Exit is closed, a
molded tab of the Cover presses down on the
floating idler gear to engage it with the Roll
Fuser gear. When the Cover is open, the tab of
the Cover releases the floating idler gear. The
floating idler gear then disengages from the Roll
Fuser driving gear and interrupts the drive
power transmission to the Fuser.
