AR-C170M  DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH SECTION  7 - 16

RW: Abbreviation of Related Wiring, which means the said load is specified in the related figure of the mechanical and the electrical sec-

tions.

The drive power for the drum cartridges are transmitted from the
drive motor (DM) to the drum gears.

The toner cartridge is driven through the drum gear and the con-
nection gear.

The motor (stepping motor) for black is driven by the drive signal
sent directly from the PCU, and the motors color are driven by the
drive signals sent from the PCU through the driver PWB.

Four LED (writing) units are provided for each of Yellow, Magenta,
Cyan, and Black.

Each LED (writing) unit converts YMCK dot image data outputted
from the ICU PWB into LED light, and radiate the light onto the
OPC drum, forming electrostatic latent images on the OPC drum.

Since the position of each LED unit of CMYK is shifted in the
paper transport direction, the above operation depends on the rel-
ative position and differs in the operating timing.
