7.5. Switching operation (1) from the sheet scan mode to the fixed scan mode
The planet gear A moves toward the scan unit drive side gear and
stops at the intermediate position because the pin A on the planet gear
A mounting arm is restricted its movement by the cam groove A. The
planet gear B moves into engagement with the system gear so that the
system gear rotates. Along with the rotation of the system gear, the
scan unit locking lever starts rotating in the release direction.

7.6. Switching operation (2) from the sheet scan mode to the fixed scan mode

7.7. Switching operation (3) from the sheet scan mode to the fixed scan mode
Due to the system gear rotation, the pin B is guided in the cam groove
B to turn the planet gear B mounting arm. The planet gear B is disen-
gaged from the system gear, and the system gear loses its power.
