Toner Supply Motor On Time Determinations
For fixed control mode, the toner supply motor on time is specified by the setting of
SP2-925, and does not vary. The default setting is 200 ms for each copy. The
toner supply motor on time for each value of SP2-925 is as follows.

For sensor control modes 1 and 2, the toner supply motor on time is decided by the
following factors.
•
∆
Vt (= Vt – (Vref or Vts))
•
TD sensor sensitivity (coefficient: S,
value is 0.3
)
There are seven levels for toner supply motor on time as shown below.

NOTE:
1) The value of “t” can be changed using SP2-922 (default: 0.6 second)
2) The value of “T” can be changed using SP2-923 (default: 30 seconds)
3) T (30) means that toner is supplied intermittently in
a half duty cycle
(1.5 s on, 1.5 s off)
for 30 seconds
