Developing cylinder drive
Toner cartridge separation
Separates the toner cartridge from the photosensitive drum after the
development process.
After the developing cylinder ceases to rotate, the mechanical
controller rotates the developing unit motor in reverse. The
developing unit motor drives the operation of the cartridge press
cam so that the pressure on the push slider is released and the toner
cartridge separates from the photosensitive drum. When the press
cam begins to operate, the mechanical controller sets the developing
rotary brake signal (/DEVBRK) to “H” and turns the developing
rotary brake clutch (CL1) off. When the toner cartridge position
sensor (PS3) detects the cartridge has begun to leave the drum, the
mechanical controller sets /DEVBRK to “L” and turns CL1 on
again, stopping the developing unit motor.
