Developer unit
The developer unit consists of the lower and upper developer sleeves (magnetic rollers), leveler, auto-
toner sensor, supply/recovery paddle, separation auxiliary member, mixing unit, etc. The developer ma-
terial is poured into the developer unit.
(1) Developer material
The developer material contains carrier and toner. The carrier is made of iron powder of about 65
µ
m
in diameter, being a conductor. The toner is made of resin particles, about 9
µ
m in diameter. The
toner has a weight ratio of about 5% of the developer material. Developer material deteriorates with
use and must be replaced periodically.
(2) Mixing unit
When the carrier and toner are mixed, friction is generated, causing the carrier to have a positive (+)
charge and the toner to have a minus (–) charge. The toner adheres to the drum surface as a result
of electrostatic force.
(3) Supply/recovery paddle
This paddle supplies stirred developer material to the feed roller, and recovers developer material
that has been separated by the lower developer sleeve and returns it to the stirring section.
