Photo conductor drive mechanism
• Two independent photo conductor motors (for color and black) are used for the drive
mechanism to suppress incorrect color registration and uneven pitch.
A. Photo conductor/K drive mechanism
• The transport motor drives the photo conductor/K.
• The transport motor is the common source that provides drive to manual feed, paper tray
feed, timing roller, transfer belt, and others.
• Drive is transmitted to each of the photo conductors when the triangular-prism-shaped
shaft is engaged with the mating coupling part.
