Position Detection
The Toner Cartridge Rack stop position for each color of toner is detected by
the Rack Positioning Sensor. Openings around the circumference of the Toner
Cartridge Rack actuate the Rack Position Sensor at each stop position.
Rack Positioning Sensor
When the Toner Cartridge Rack rotates past the slit for the K developing
position, the Rack Positioning Sensor is actuated. This indicates that the
current development is for K. Through pulse control of the Rack Motor, the
Rack Motor drives the Toner Cartridge Rack to the standby position.
