GEAR SECTION

This model provides a motor-driven gear mechanism for transmitting/copying documents and printing fax data. In this chapter,
you will see how the gears work to select and operate a mode and how the gear section, sensors and rollers mechanically work
during the main operations (FAX transmission, FAX reception and Copy).
7.4.6.1. Mode Selection (See Fig. 1)
When a motor with Drive Motor Gear attached rotates clockwise (CW), Swing Gear C engages G15 and drives G14 to rotate
counterclockwise. This operation provide four mode options (A: Transmit mode, B: Paper-Pickup mode, C: Receive mode and D:
Copy mode) selected by the Sensor Switch. (The Sensor Switch LeverÕs position in the CAM (G15) controlled by the software
selects a specific mode.) You can see which mode is selected by confirming the Mode Marker´s position as shown in
Fig. 1-a~1-d.
(Ex. If the Mode Marker is in position A, a transmit mode is selected.)
Note:
The arrows show the directions in which the active gears turn around.
