PDCU Waste Toner Collection
Toner Transport
Motor
Coil
Waste toner from the four drums falls onto a coil.
The toner transport motor drives this coil.
The coil distributes the toner evenly inside the toner collection
bottle. This makes sure that toner does not pile up unevenly.
Slide 150
The gears at the end of the drum drive the toner collection coil inside each drum
unit.
The image transfer unit has a separate bottle for collecting waste toner.
The mechanism is similar to the G-P3.
In the AT-C1, toner from all four drums is collected in one coil before it goes
to the bottle. In the G-P3/Di-C1/Di-C1.5, there are four openings in the
bottle, and toner goes directly from the drum into the bottle, and is
distributed by coils inside the bottle.
