B.3.3.1
Toner Low Detection
•
Composition
The device consists of the stirring gear which rotates at a constant rate, the stirring bar
and the magnet on the stirring bar. The stirring bar rotates through the link on the
protrusion in the stirring gear.
The configuration of stirring bar in the figure below may differ. The principle of toner detection,
however, remains the same.
•
Operation
Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval between the encounter of the
magnet set on the sensor lever and the magnet on the stirring bar.
Operation during toner full state
•
The stirring bar rotates due to interlocking
with the stirring gear.
•
Even when the magnet on the stirring bar
reaches the maximum height, since the
other side is being dipped in the toner, the
stirring bar is pushed by the stirring gear.
Operation during toner low state
•
When the stirring bar reaches the maximum
height, since there is no resnstance pro-
vided by the toner on the other side, it falls
to the minimum height due to its own
weight. Because of this, the time interval
during which it is in encounter with the
magnet of the sensor lever becomes long.
By monitoring this time interval, toner low
can be detected.
