13-6. Main Hopper Toner Replenishing Mechanism

• When a toner-empty condition in the Sub Hopper is detected, the Main Hopper Toner
Replenishing Motor is energized to turn the Toner Bottle, thereby supplying toner from
the Main Hopper to the Sub Hopper.
• The Toner Bottle Home Position Sensor mounted on the coupling ensures that the Toner
Supply Port in the Toner Bottle is positioned at the top whenever the bottle is stopped.
• The Toner Bottle Cover Sensor detects whether the Toner Bottle Cover is open. If the
cover is open, the copier does not authorize the initiation of a new copy cycle. If the
cover is opened during a copy cycle, the copier interrupts the cycle.
