The main motor [A] drives the fusing unit through a gear train and drives the paper
exit rollers [B] through a timing belt [C].
The fusing unit release mechanism automatically disengages the fusing unit drive
gear [D] when the right cover [E] is opened. This allows the fusing unit drive gear to
rotate freely so that misfed paper can easily be removed.
