Composition/Operation
B. Toner cartridge rack stop position
• The toner cartridge rack must be brought to a stop so that the toner cartridge of each
color of toner is located at its correct position. To accomplish this task, three stop posi-
tions are established: the standby (reference) position, the developing position, and the
cartridge replacement position.
• The standby position refers to the position at which the toner cartridge rack is stationary
when the machine is in the standby state. The toner cartridge rack is located at this
standby position when the machine completes a warm-up cycle or waits for a print com-
mand.
• The development position refers to the position at which the toner cartridge rack stops
during development of a specific color of toner.
• The cartridge replacement position refers to the position at which the toner cartridge rack
is stopped for replacement of the toner cartridge of a specific color of toner.
(1) Standby (reference) position
• The standby position is 45
°
before the developing position of the K toner cartridge.
(2) Developing position
• The developing position is where the toner cartridge rack is rotated 45
°
from the standby
position.
