PC drum drive mechanism
• Two independent PC drum motors (for color and monochrome) are used for the drive
mechanism to suppress incorrect color registration and uneven pitch.
A. PC drum/K drive mechanism
• The transport motor drives the PC drum/K.
• The transport motor is the common source that provides drive to tray 1 paper feed, tray 2
paper feed, tray 3 paper feed, timing roller, transfer belt, and others.
• Drive is transmitted to each of the PC drums when the triangular-prism-shaped shaft is
engaged with the mating coupling part.
