B. Developer collecting port (developing unit/K)
• The developer collecting port on the side of the developing unit/K is provided with a shut-
ter mechanism. (Auto refining developing system: For details, see "Developing unit sec-
tion".)
• Mounting the waste toner box in place pushes the shutter at the developer collecting
port, thus opening the developer collecting port. Removing the waste toner box, on the
other hand, closes the shutter, so that developer can be prevented from spilling from the
developer collecting port of the developing unit/K.
• The developer collecting port on the side of the waste toner box is not provided with any
shutter mechanism. Instead, a waste developer spillage prevention material is affixed to
the developer collecting port, which helps prevent developer from spilling.
NOTE
• When removing the waste toner box, the waste toner box must be held in a hori-
zontal position with care not to allow waste developer to spill from the developer
replenishing port.
