In the transfer belt unit, the toner collection coil [A] at the front of the transfer belt
unit transports the toner removed from the transfer belt cleaning unit to the used
toner tank [B].
In the drum area, the toner collection coil [C] in the drum cleaning unit transfers the
toner removed from the drum cleaning unit to the used toner tank.
The used toner sensor [D] (a piezoelectric sensor) is inside the used toner tank.
After this sensor detects that the tank is full, the used toner lamp on the operation
panel blinks. Then, after 100 copies, the machine stops the copy job.
