As described in the "Drum Cleaning" section, the toner remaining on the
drum which was not transferred to the copy paper is scraped off by the
cleaning blade and falls onto the toner collection coil [A].
The toner collection coil carries the toner to the recycled toner transport coil
[B]. This helical coil transports the collected recycled toner to the toner
supply unit [C] through the opening [D]. In addition, new toner is supplied
from the toner bottle [E] into the toner supply unit through the opening [F].
(Refer to the "Toner Bottle Replenishment Mechanism" section.)
