12.4  Auto-Toner Circuit

12.4.1  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.

· Display

: Indicates toner-empty information.
