6.2 TONER SUPPLY MECHANISM
The toner supply motor [A] drives the toner bottle [B] and the mylar blades
[C]. First, the toner falls down into the toner holder. The two toner supply
mylar blades transfer the toner to the opening [D], then the toner falls down
into the development unit.
There is a notch [E] on the toner bottle, and a roller [F] located under the
toner bottle. They both shake the toner bottle to prevent toner clumps from
forming. They also help to transport the toner inside the toner bottle when the
amount of toner inside is low.
