Waste Toner Collection Bottle
Bottle Set
Sensor
! Set sensor: There is an actuator on the bottle
! Near-full sensor: The top of the toner pushes an actuator into the
sensor
! Full sensor: When the torque on the transport coil is too high, the tab
is pushed away from the switch, and the switch turns off
Slide 389
# This shows the sensors for the waste toner bottle.
Waste Toner Bottle Set Sensor
# This sensor detects the position of the waste toner bottle, and checks if it is set
correctly. When the bottle is set in the machine, it pushes the feeler away from
the sensor and turns the sensor on.
# The machine issues SC487 if the waste toner bottle is not installed or if it is not
installed correctly.
Waste Toner Bottle Near-Full Sensor
# When the level of the waste toner rises high enough:
$ The pressure of the top of the stack of waste toner pushes a piece of
silicone rubber, then the film pushes a feeler into the gap of the sensor.
$ The sensor is blocked when the waste toner bottle is nearly full.
$ The machine issues a near-full alert and switches off the waste toner
distribution motor.
Waste Toner Bottle Full Sensor
# Monitors the level of the waste toner in the waste toner bottle. Signals an alert
when the pressure of the waste toner releases the bottle full sensor.
# After the alert is issued, the machine can print up to 100 additional copies. After
100 copies, the machine issues SC484.
Waste Toner Lock Sensor
# This sensor is located on the PTR motor bracket. It detects when the waste toner
bottle transport coil locks and stops rotating because of clogged toner in the
waste toner transport path. The machine issues SC488 if there is no change 3
seconds after the lock occurs.
Waste Toner Bottle Transport Motor
# If the waste toner bottle transport motor does not turn for 600 ms, the motor
control board sends a motor lock signal to the CPU and the machine issues
SC485.
