PHOTOCONDUCTOR UNIT

6.7.7 WASTE TONER BOTTLE FULL DETECTION

[A]
[B]
B146D533.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 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
displays "Waste Toner is Almost Full".
After that, the machine can print about 2,500 more sheets. After printing 2,500
sheets, it displays "Replace Waste Toner," and after the end of the job, the
machine cannot be used 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%.
