• Developer Agitation Mechanism
The developer is agitated by the upper [A] and lower [B] transport coils.
Toner and developer are regulated by the doctor blade [F], and applied to the development
roller [D].
• Toner Density Detection Mechanism
TD sensors (S14-S17) [C] detect the toner density. Toner is supplied when the toner
density is not sufficient.
• Toner Density Control
The ID sensors (S27-S29) at the lower right of the ITB detect the amount of light reflected
from the ITB and detects the toner density. Toner is supplied based on the information
which the ID sensors (S27-S29) detect.
