The ATDC Sensor automatic adjustment is made when a new I/C is installed in the
copier. Toner replenishing control is thereafter controlled as detailed in the following.
1. ATDC Sensor Automatic Adjustment
•
The ATDC Sensor is automatically adjusted when a new I/C is loaded in the copier. Dur-
ing this sequence, the copier reads the sensor output value and sets it as the reference.
This reference value is stored in memory and used until the I/C reaches its service life.
2. Toner Replenishing Control
•
While the I/C Motor is turning, the ATDC Sensor samples T/C and, according to the read-
ings, the copier provides the following controls.
✽
Toner replenishment represents the operation of the Sub Hopper Toner Replenishing
Motor.
3. Toner Empty Control (T/C Recovery Mode)
•
When the control is passed onto the T/C recovery mode, the Sub Hopper Toner Replen-
ishing Motor is energized to replenish the supply of toner into the Developing Unit and, if
T/C is recovered to a level of 14% or higher (2.32V or less) within 150 sec., it resets the
toner-empty condition.
