Toner Low Detection - Oki OKIPAGE 10i Service Manual

Device
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 gouged
portion in the stirring gear.


Operation
Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval of the encounter of the magnet set on the
sensor plate and the magnet on the stirring bar.
Operation during Toner Full State


The stirring bar rotates due to the
mechanical transmission of
energy originating from the
interlocking with the stirring gear.


Even when the magnet on the
stirring bar reaches the maximum
height, the stirring bar is pushed
by the stirring gear, since the
other
side is being dipped in the toner.
