The used toner amount is detected by counting the number of dots printed. The counting starts after toner low is removed. The sum of the counted values is
stored in EEPROM. Upon detection of toner low, the amount used is forcedly set to 8%. After that, when the equivalent of pages of 1K on A4 and 5% duty is
reached, toner-empty occurs and the printing stops.
