The toner supply motor [A] drives the toner bottle [B] and the mylar blades [C].
First, the toner falls down into the toner bottle holder. The toner supply mylar
blades transfer the toner to the slit [D]. When the PCU is installed in the machine,
the shutter [E] above the PCU is opened by the toner bottle holder. Then the toner
falls down into the development unit through the slit and the shutter.
