Toner sensors detecting low toner
PS11 also detects that the toner cartridge is installed. When the
cartridge is in its detection position, light emitted from the LED of
PS11 is intercepted by the cartridge, therefore not able to reach the
photodiode of PS11. If the light is detected at the photodiode, the
video controller is notified of a toner cartridge absence failure.
