Each toner bottle [A] has an independent toner bottle motor [B]. An empty toner bottle can be replaced during printing.

The toner near-end sensor detects toner as it falls from the toner bottle into the toner entrance tank [C]. If the toner near end sensor [D] detects that no toner has come out of the toner bottle, the toner bottle enters the toner near-end condition.

The toner bottle motor then rotates the toner bottle up to 20 times to try to supply toner to the toner entrance tank. If the sensor detects toner more than 5 times, the near-end condition is cleared. However, if the toner near end sensor fails to detect toner 5 consecutive times, 200 more copies can be made from that bottle, then the machine declares it to be empty.

When the bottle is empty, the machine switches to the second toner bottle. The first toner bottle cap motor closes the bottle cap and the second toner bottle cap motor pulls out the second bottle cap. The motors operate until the first bottle inner cap sensor does not detect the actuator and the second bottle inner cap sensor does detect the actuator.

The second toner bottle is then rotated up to 15 times. If the near-end sensor detects toner after 5 times, the machine can print from that bottle.
