5 Detecting the Presence/Absence of a Cartridge and
the Level of Toner
5.1 Outline
A toner level sensor is mounted inside the developing assembly.
The machine uses the output (Ant) of the toner level sensor inside the developing as-
sembly and the output level (Dv) of the developing bias in various detection circuits for A/
D conversion.
The CPU checks the difference in level between the cartridge detection signal
(TNRCHKD) and the toner detection signal (TNRCNKT) after A/D conversion when the
developing bias is applied, thus finding out the presence/absence of cartridge and the level
of toner.
