Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval of the encounter of the magnet set on the sensor lever and the
magnet on the stirring bar.

interlocking with the stirring gear.
Even when the magnet on the stirring
l
bar reaches the maximum height,
since the other side is being dipped
in the toner, the stirring bar is pushed
by the stirring gear.
