8.4 TONER COLLECTION MECHANISM
Toner scraped off by the cleaning blade falls onto the toner collection coil
[A]. The toner collection coil is driven by the main motor via the cleaning unit
drive gear [B].
The toner collection coil transports toner to where it joins the recycled toner
transport tube [C] at the front of the drum unit. The recycled toner transport
coil [D] is driven by two helical gears [E], one of which is on the front end of
the cleaning unit drive gear shaft and the other on the shaft of the recycled
toner transport coil. The recycled toner transport coil moves collected toner
to the toner supply unit for recycling. (See the "Toner Recycling" section for
details.)
