This copier uses 2 mixing augers, [A] and [B], to keep the developer evenly mixed.
Mixing auger 2 [A] transports excess developer, scraped off the development roller
[C] by the doctor blade [D], towards the front of the machine. Mixing auger 1 [B]
returns the excess developer, along with new toner, to the rear of the mixing
assembly. Here the developer is reapplied to the development roller.
