Claim 11:
12. An assembly for an electrophotographic image forming device, comprising:
a rotatable drive coupler movable between a retracted position and an extended position, in the retracted position the drive coupler is disengaged from a corresponding drive interface of an image transfer unit having a rotatable transfer belt that is configured to receive toner images from an image donating member and to transfer the toner images to an image receiving medium, in the extended position the drive coupler is engaged with the corresponding drive interface of the image transfer unit for providing a rotational force from the drive coupler to the drive interface of the image transfer unit to rotate the transfer belt;
an actuator operatively connected to the drive coupler such that the actuator moves the drive coupler from the retracted position to the extended position upon the actuator receiving an actuation force from an insertion of an imaging module configured to hold the image donating member into the image forming device; and
a first biasing member biasing the actuator toward the retracted position of the drive coupler.
