Abstract
An apparatus includes a developer and an actuator moveable in response to an input stimulus during an image forming operation of an image forming device. The apparatus includes a clutch that is actuatable, during the image forming operation, by the actuator between an engaged position in which the clutch is engaged with a photoreceptor and a disengaged position in which the clutch is disengaged from the photoreceptor. The clutch when in the engaged position transfers a force of a photoreceptor drive assembly to the photoreceptor for moving the photoreceptor, and the clutch when in the disengaged position isolates the photoreceptor drive assembly from the photoreceptor.
