2. Function of auto-toner sensor
- The auto-toner sensor consists of the following circuits:
Drive winding:
A magnetic head (primary side) with a high-frequency magnetic field, which forms a magnetic
circuit in the developer material.
Detection winding:
Receives the change in the magnetic resistance of the developer material through the magnetic
circuit (secondary side).
DC conversion circuit:
Converts a high-frequency output from the detection winding into a DC signal (auto-toner output
V
ATS
).

- When the toner density is low
The ratio of the toner against the carrier in the developer material decreases.
→
The magnetic resistance decreases.
→
The detection output increases.
→
The auto-toner output V
ATS
increases.
- When the toner density is high
The ratio of the toner against the carrier in the developer material increases.
→
The magnetic resistance increases.
→
The detection output decreases.
→
The auto-toner output V
ATS
decreases.
