8.4.6.3 Mechanical Drive

Mechanical Drive is a term that is used to describe both the rotation of the High Capacity Feed Motor
and the action of the gears, belts, and clutches that are used to transmit and control motor rotation to the
various components throughout the HCF. The primary purpose of Mechanical Drive within the HCF is to
provide the mechanical energy needed to drive a sheet out of a paper tray and into the printer
registration area.
Drive for Tray 3
The HCF Drive PWB switches on the Feed Motor. The HCF Drive Belt transmits the drive energy from
the Feed Motor to HCF Drive Transmission Gear 1. Gear 1 transmits drive to Tray 3 Drive Gear, which in
turn transmits drive to Tray 3 Feed Clutch. When the HCF Drive PWB actuates Tray 3 Feed Clutch, the
Clutch transmits drive to the Tray 3 Feed Rolls, to the Retard Rolls, and to the Tray 3 Take Away Rolls.
