Toner Near End (TNE) / Toner End (TE) Detection
Toner near end detection: A counter determines when the toner has almost run out by calculating the remaining toner
from the initial amount of toner and subsequently replenished toner.
Toner end detection: A sensor checks whether toner is being added to the PCDU. If it cannot see that toner is being
replenished, then the machine detects that toner has actually run out, and the machine cannot print.
The toner near end counter works as follows:
The near-end alert sounds when the number of prints that can be made until toner end is as follows (Rough indication)
This setting is not available in the UP mode. To adjust, use SP3-098-001 (Days Before End Toner) 0: Notify
Sooner, 1: Normal, 2: Notify Later
The number of prints (rough indication) that can be made after toner near end notification is calculated assuming
an average print volume (APV) of 3,000 sheets per month.
The number of prints is that when continuously printing the test chart on A4 paper at 6% coverage.
Used toner
The waste toner collection coil sends used toner in the PCDU down to the used toner box.
The used toner collection box does not have a function to detect when it is full.
PCDU
Overview
The PCDU section consists of four mechanisms: charge, photoconduction, development, and cleaning. It does not have
an antistatic mechanism.
