A3.1.10 Toner Low Detection
•
Device
The Toner Low Detection device consists of a stirring gear which rotates at a constant
rate, a stiring bar and a magnet on the stirring bar. The stirring bar rotation is driven by
the link to the gouged portion in the stirring gear.

Operation
Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval of the encounter of the magnet set
on the sensor plate and the magnet on the stirring bar.
Operation during Toner Full state
•
The stirring bar rotates due to the
mechanical transmission of energy
originating from the interlocking with
the stirring gear.
•
Even when the magnet on the stirring
bar reaches the maximum height, the
stirring bar is pushed by the stirring
gear, since the other side is being
dipped in the toner.
Operation during Toner Low state
•
When the stirring bar reaches the
maximum height, it falls to the mini-
mum height due to its own weight,
since there is no resistance provided
by the toner on the other side. Be-
cause of this, the time interval during
which it is in encounter with the
magnet of the sensor plate becomes
longer. By monitoring this time
interval, Toner Low state can be
detected.
