[ 3 ] Recovered toner supply mechanism
The toner scraped off by the drum cleaning blade is transported by the toner recovery auger and
returned to the developer unit to be recycled. When returned to the developer unit, the recovered toner
is mixed with the developer material by the mixer-1 and mixer-2 in the developer unit.
On the other hand, the fresh toner transported to the developer unit from the toner cartridge is stirred by
the mixer-2, then mixed with the recovered toner, and then further stirred and transported to the
developer sleeve.
