This connects and disconnects the drive force from the main motor
to the fuser assembly. When the top cover is opened, the link lever pushes up
gear 8 in the gear assembly housing disconnecting gear 9 and thus, the fuser
assembly. As the link lever moves up and down, gear 4 in the gear assembly
plate moves right and left via gear link 3, and drive to the print cartridge drum
is connected or disconnected.
