Developer Scattering Preventive Mechanism

• To prevent the image and machine interior from being dirtied, the Toner Suction Fan
Motor draws air so that toner particles rising up in the Developing Unit can be trapped.
• A Suction Duct is provided for the IU (Developing Unit). As air is drawn by the Toner Suc-
tion Fan Motor, toner particles rising up during development are removed from the air
that passes through the Suction Duct.
• The Toner Suction Fan Motor rotates when the IU Motor is energized.
• The Toner Filter on the Developing Unit side and that on the machine side trap toner par-
ticles from the air drawn by the Toner Suction Fan Motor.
