Abstract
In the invention described, an actuating solenoid on one side of a printer wall connects to a pawl by a lever component. The lever has a pawl-actuating post extending through a wall window so that it may interface with a flared slot on the clutch's pawl. By extending the post through the wall window, space is saved when the printer door is closed because the solenoid does not need to be on the inside of the wall.
