13.1 General Description

The revolver unit has three colors (yellow, magenta and cyan) of developer units and three colors of toner cartridges inside. The revolver rotates 120 degrees in a clockwise direction to move each color developer unit to the developing position, and thus color development is performed. At black development, the revolver rotates to move them to the escape position not to contact with the photoconductive drum.
