This mechanism supplies toner from the toner bottle to the development roller.
The dual mixing roller consists of the outer paddle [A] and the inner auger [B]. The
outer paddle moves developer to the front and supplies it to the development
roller. The developer that is spilt off by the doctor blade goes through the holes
[C] in the outer paddle, and is transported towards the rear by the inner auger.
While the dual mixing roller is moving the developer, some developer also goes
back to the development unit through the holes in the bottom of the paddle roller
.
New toner from the toner bottle and recycled toner from the toner collection coil
both enter the development unit at the top [D]
