2.4.8  DTM (DEVELOPMENT TONER MAGAZINE) DETECTION

The DTM sensor [A] detects the presence of a DTM.

The DTM sensor outputs an error detection signal when a toner bottle is not
present or is incorrectly installed. Printing cannot start until this signal ceases (i.e.,
the error must be corrected).

Installing a toner bottle and closing the DTM cover [B] automatically initiates the
recovery procedure, releasing the error.
