3. OPERATION AND TIMING
c. Supplying Color Toner
If the results of measuring the toner density indicate that the density of toner inside the developing
assembly is below a specific level, the DC controller sends the toner supply signal to turn on the toner supply
clutch. As a result, the drive of the Pick-up motor moves through the toner supply screw to supply toner to the
developing assembly. This operation is executed while the developing cylinder is rotating after measuring
the density of toner.
The duration of toner supply, i.e., during which the toner supply clutch remains on, varies depending on
the toner density signal.
