2.10 Toner Low Detection
• Structure
This device consists of a constant speed rotating agitation gear andagitation bar.
• Detection
The minimum height length of stay (OFF time) of a target board which attached the toner
low level state in the end of a churning bar is measured and detected by the sensor.
OFF time (minimum height) ON time (maximum height)

Target board
Sensor
The light which emitted light by the
sensor reflects with a target board, and
received light by the sensor. Therefore,
the minimum height length of stay is
detectable.
The light which emitted light by the
sensor does not reflect with a target
board, and does not received light by
the sensor.
