Waste toner box new article detection

• The waste toner box is not provided with any new article detection mechanism. Detection
made by the waste toner full sensor is used for detecting a new waste toner box.
• When the waste toner full display appears, the existing waste toner box is replaced with a
new one. When the waste toner full sensor remains unblocked for a predetermined
period of time or more, the machine determines that the normal state is recovered (the
old waste toner box is replaced with a new one).
• Determining that a new waste toner box has been mounted, the machine resets the
waste toner full display, allowing the initiation of a new print cycle.
A. Timing at which to reset the waste toner full display
• The waste toner box full detection control is performed under any of the following condi-
tions:
"The waste toner full sensor detects a waste toner full condition."
"The power switch is turned ON"
"The front door is closed"

Waste toner spillage prevention shutter

of the waste toner box.

veying screw and discharged in the waste toner box.
