Operation of the host machine
In this machine, Toner Cartridge Motors are arranged for each color to perform toner supply.
The Toner Cartridge Motor (Y/M/C/K) (M7/M8/M9/M10) is driven to supply the toner with the amount as determined based
on the Toner Density Sensor (TS1/2/3/4) and video count output value.
In order to ensure that the bottle rotation speed does not vary greatly as the amount of toner inside the bottle is being reduced,
the bottle rotation is controlled by using the Toner supply sensor (Y/M/C/K) (PS35/PS36/PS37/PS38).
Control description
When toner is supplied, the Toner Supply Sensor (Y/M/C/K) (PS35/PS36/PS37/PS38) is started while it is turned ON. Driving
the Tomer Cartridge Motor (Y/M/C/K) (M7/M8/M9/M10) rotates the Toner Cartridge, causing the flag of the Toner Supply
Sensor to drop to the cut-off part of the Toner Cartridge as shown in the figure below, which in turn switches OFF the sensor.
When the flag then moves away from the cut-off part of the Toner Supply Sensor, the sensor is switched ON.
When the Toner Supply Sensor is OFF, toner for one time is supplied to the Developing Assembly.
No.
