5.1.6 Exit

After passing through the fuser, media is ejected into the output tray. Any static electrical charge is removed by static
discharge brushes.
When operating in duplex print mode, after printing the front side of the page, the paper exit roller reverses to feed the
paper back into the printer in order to print on the back side of the paper.

5.1.7 Waste Toner Collection Process

Waste toner left on the drum and on the transfer belt is collected into the waste toner cartridge.
After transferring the toner image from the drum to the transfer belt, a cleaning blade removes waste toner
off the drum depositing it into the waste toner cartridge.
A second transfer belt cleaning blade removes waste toner from the transfer belt and deposits waste toner
into the waste toner cartridge.
1) Waste toner cartridge sensor
The waste toner cartridge sensor is used to detect the presence of the waste toner cartridge and its full condition.
> No waste toner cartridge
If a waste toner cartridge is not installed in the printer,
the waste toner sensor actuator blocks light from the
sensor LED and displays a cartridge not installed
message on the control panel.
> Low waste toner
If the sensors LED light reaches the photo sensor, by
passing through the waste cartridge, this indicates the
waste toner cartridge has not reached its full state.
> Waste toner tank full
If the sensors LED light is blocked or not received by the
photo sensor, it will indicate a waste toner cartridge full
state on the control panel.
