Toner Supply Mechanism
When the toner supply clutch [A] turns on, the agitator [B] mixes the recycled toner
transported by the air tube [G] with new toner. Then it moves the toner from front to
rear and sends it to the toner supply roller.
The toner supply clutch [A] inside the development motor unit [C] transfers drive
from the development motor to the toner supply roller gear [D], which drives the
agitator gear [E]. Toner is caught in the grooves in the toner supply roller [F]. Then,
as the grooves turn past the opening, the toner falls into the development unit.
