If the waste toner pipe becomes clogged for some reason and the waste toner feeding screw will not
rotate, leakage of waste toner can occur.
To prevent such a problem, a feeding screw detection mechanism is provided. The gear A (Figure 3-
553) used to drive the waste toner feeding screw shifts over the shaft because of the axial force that occurs
when the feeding screw locks.
The shift of the gear A is checked by the lock detection switch (SW4). When the gear A pushes the
switch, the waste toner feeding motor (M20) stops and 'E013' will be indicated on the control panel.
