PHOTOCONDUCTOR UNIT

6.7.7 WASTE TONER BOTTLE FULL DETECTION

[A]
[B]
B178D543.WMF
The waste toner bottle set switch [A] detects the bottle when it is placed in the
machine.
The waste toner sensor [B] detects the weight of the bottle and informs the
machine when it is almost full.
When the bottle contains a certain amount of waste toner, the sensor is
deactivated. The machine detects that the waste toner bottle is almost full and
shows "Waste Toner is Almost Full".
At this time, the machine can print about 2,500 more sheets. After printing 2,500
sheets, it shows "Replace Waste Toner," at the end of the job. After this, you
cannot use the machine again until the bottle is replaced or emptied.
NOTE: The number of sheets is calculated on the assumption that the paper size
is A4 and that the coverage ratio of each color is 5%.
