Toner Cartridge Unit

Detecting a new cartridge

When initializing, a reflector attached to the new cartridge detect lever installed in the cartridge, reflects light. A new cartridge detect sensor installed in the bottom part of the printer, allows the cartridge to be detected. Once the cartridge has been used the new cartridge detect lever makes a turn and no additional reflections occur.

A new cartridge detect sensor:

Will be high “H” when a cartridge has been used. (Sensor output at connector)

Will be low “L” when a cartridge is present.
