ABSTRACT:
A actuating apparatus for an electrophotographic device having a photosensitive drum mountable through an opening of a sidewall of the device, a detachable lid to close the opening, and a separator pawl adapted to separate a recording paper from tight contact with the drum. The actuating apparatus includes an actuator secured to the separator pawl so as to move the separator pawl between an operating position substantially in contact with the drum and a retarded position away from the drum, a bias device normally urging the separator pawl to the retarded position, and a stopper integrally secured to the lid in such a manner that when the lid is attached in position to the sidewall, the stopper automatically engages the actuator so as to keep the separator pawl at the operating position, whereas when the lid is detached from the sidewall, the stopper disengages from the actuator so as to automatically move the separator pawl to the retarded position for clearing the path of the drum.
