From the toner
separation unit
Waste
toner bottle
This slide shows how waste toner is delivered to the waste toner bottle.
The service manual gives the capacity and expected life of the bottle.
The coils are driven by the following motors
Toner collection motor: Drives the vertical coil, and the coil inside the toner
collection bottle
Drum motor: Drives the sloping coil that comes from the transfer unit
Development motor: Drives the coil that leads from the separation unit in the
toner hopper (the end of this coil can just be seen at the top left of this
diagram)
The service manual explains the error detection mechanisms, which depend on
sensors attached to the toner collection mechanisms.
Note that SC 590 appears if the vertical coil is blocked, and SC 495 is if the sloping
one is blocked.
