Toner Low Detection
•
Composition
The device consists of the stirring gear which rotates at a constant rate, the stirring bar and
the magnet on the stirring bar. The stirring bar rotates through the link on the protrusion in
the stirring gear.
The configuration of stirring bar in the figure below may differ. The principle of toner
detection, however, remains the same.
•
Operation
Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval between the encounter of the magnet
set on the sensor lever and the magnet on the stirring bar.
Operation during toner full state
•
The stirring bar rotates due to interlocking
with the stirring gear.
•
Even when the magnet on the stirring bar
reaches the maximum height, since
theother side is being dipped in the toner,
the stirring bar is pushed by the stirring
gear.
Operation during toner low state
•
When the stirring bar reaches the maxi-
mum height, since there is no resnstance
provided by the toner on the other side, it
falls to the minimum height due to its own
weight. Because of this, the time interval
during which it is in encounter with
themagnet of the sensor lever becomes
long. By monitoring this time interval, toner
