TONER SUPPLY AND RECYCLING
B234/B235/B236/D101/D102/D103 6-108 SM
The capacity of the toner collection bottle is approximately 1800 grams (A4 6%:
650K).
When the toner collection bottle starts to fill up, the toner agitator coil [A] becomes
harder to turn. When this occurs, the actuator plate [B] does not rotate because the
agitator coil drive gear [C] has a torque limiter, and the output of the toner
collection bottle agitator sensor [D] becomes constant. At this time, the operation
panel indicates that the toner collection bottle is nearly full. After this, about 200K
sheets can be printed until the bottle becomes full.
When the toner collection bottle is full, the toner collection coil [E] becomes harder
to turn. When this occurs, the actuator plate [F] does not rotate, and the output of
the toner collection bottle overflow sensor [G] becomes constant. In this condition,
the operation panel LCD indicates “Toner Full”, all copy paper in the paper feed
path is fed out, and printing stops.
If the toner bottle is not properly installed inside the toner bank, the toner collection
bottle sensor [H] detects this condition and the operation panel LCD displays error
messages (used toner bottle is not set correctly).
