Fixing drive operation

The driving force of the fixing roller (M29) [1] is transmitted through the gear to the fixing roller [2] and the

fixing paper exit roller [3]. There is a one-way clutch [4] provided between M29 and fixing roller /U, and the

transmission of driving force when M29 rotates in the normal direction is limited only to the fixing roller /U

and the fixing paper exit roller.

The same shaft of the one-way clutch [4] is provided with another one-way clutch [5] which is a transmis-

sion to the pressure/release drive cam mechanism [6]. The one-way clutches [4] and [5] operate one way

in the opposite direction of each other.
