Waste Toner Collection

6
The waste toner from the collection coils in the four PCUs falls into the waste-toner collection bottle from
the four openings [I][J][K][M] at the rear of the PCUs. The toner collection coils [B][C][D][G] move this
waste toner to the waste toner bottle [L].
Coils [B][C][D] are controlled by the color development motor and coil [G] is controlled by the black OPC/
development motor.
• The openings [I] to [M] are for these PCUs: black → [I], cyan → [J], magenta → [K], yellow → [M].
The waste toner from the transfer-belt cleaning unit falls into the waste toner collection bottle from a different
opening [N]. The toner collection coil [A] moves this waste toner to the waste toner bottle.
The waste toner collection coil [H] is controlled by the transfer roller contact motor.
The waste toner bottle has five seals (one at each entrance). These prevent scattering waste toner.
