2.6 Toner Low Detection

Device
l l
The Toner Low Detection device consists of a stirring gear which rotates at a constant rate, a stirring bar and a magnet on the stirring bar. The stirring bar
rotation is driven by the link to the protrusion in the stirring gear.
Operation
l l
Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval of the encounter of the magnet set on the sensor lever and the magnet on the stirring bar.
Operation during Toner Full state
l
The stirring bar is rotated due to the mechanical transmission of energy originating from the interlocking with the stirring gear.
l
Even when the magnet on the stirring bar reaches the maximum height, the stirring bar is pushed by the stirring gear, since the other end is being dipped in
the toner.
