Monitoring the Waste Toner Case
The toner inside the waste toner case is monitored by the waste toner detecting
assembly mounted to the drum cartridge.
The detecting assembly consists of a light-emitting section and a light-receiving sec-
tion. The light generated by the light-emitting section is directed to the detecting window
of the drum cartridge. It moves through the cartridge when the stirring plate inside moves
toner away from around the detecting widow. The light is then detected by the light-receiv-
ing section through the waste toner case; the DC controller PCB finds out the time to
when waste toner once again covers the detecting window.
When the period during which light is passing through is shorter than a specific value,
the DC controller PCB will identify the fact as a waste toner full warning condition, and
communicates it to the printer board1. It also writes the data to the drum cartridge mem-
ory.
The copier remains capable of making copies after the warning, but the DC controller
PCB starts counting the prints made since the warning has been issued; it will identify a
waste toner full condition when the count reaches a specific value, and will stop the
machine and communicates the fact to the printer board*
