Toner
Agitator
The toner agitator mixes the toner so that it is transported evenly
to the mixing rollers.
The upper mixing roller moves toner to the center, then the lower
mixing roller moves toner to the right and left sides.
Finally, the toner supply roller supplies toner to the development
roller.
Slide 90
This mixing mechanism prevents toner hardening and uneven image density
