Toner Bottle Switching Mechanism

[C]
When the upper toner bottle [A] is supplying toner, the upper bottle cap motor [B]
pulls out the toner bottle cap. The upper bottle cap sensor [C] detects the actuator
[D] of the toner bottle opening rod, then the motor shuts off to close the cap again.
Toner is supplied from the toner bottle to the toner entrance tank where a toner
near end sensor (see the next page) checks for the presence of toner in the toner
entrance tank.
When the toner near-end sensor (not shown) can no longer detect any toner, it
signals the machine that it is time to switch bottles. The upper bottle cap motor
switches on and closes the cap of the top bottle, while the lower bottle cap motor
[E] switches on and opens the cap of the lower bottle so it can start supplying toner.
