<Initializing the developing bias>
When replacing the toner cartridge with a new one, the new toner sensor detects that the
toner cartridge is replaced, and the developing bias is initialized automatically. Therefore, the
user is not necessary to initialize the developing bias.
If replacing the toner cartridge which contains enough toner with a used one, the new toner
sensor cannot detect that the toner cartridge is replaced so that the developing bias is not
initialized. In this case, the print density may be lighter than usual.
