12.5 Auto-Toner Circuit

12.5.1

General description

1) Function of the auto-toner circuit

- Detects the toner density in the developer material, and supplies toner when the density is low-

ered to a certain level.

- Detects that there is no toner left in the cartridge (toner-empty detection).

2) The auto-toner circuit consists of the following:

- Auto-toner sensor:

Detects the toner density.

- Control section:

Controls the toner density so that the toner in the developer material is fixed to certain ratio.

- Toner motor:

Supplies toner to the developer material.

- Control panel:

Indicates toner-empty information.

- Recovered toner supply section:

The main motor supplies the recovered toner to the developer unit from the recovered toner sup-
ply mechanism.
