Toner Collection Bottle Set/ Near-Full/ Full Detection - Ricoh B230 Service Manual

6.8.2 TONER COLLECTION BOTTLE SET/ NEAR-FULL/ FULL
DETECTION
The toner collection bottle has a projection at its rear side. When the toner collection bottle
is set, this projection pushes the waste toner bottle set switch at the rear of the machine. As
a result, the machine detects that the toner collection bottle is installed.
The bottle near-full/full detection mechanism is above the bottle. When the used toner
pushes up the used toner feeler [A], the waste toner sensor [B] turns off
At this time, the machine detects that the toner collection bottle is almost full, and displays
a message.
After this, when 500 sheets of paper have been copied, the machine detects that the toner
collection bottle is full, and the machine stops.
