Mechanism
Toner supply (toner cartridge - sub-hopper)
When the toner cartridge is set, the transport nozzle on the side of the unit is inserted into the bottle (Hi-
Act system).
When the piezoelectric sensor in the sub-hopper detects there is no toner, the bottle drive motor rotates.
The rotation of the bottle drive motor is transmitted to a transport coil via a drive gear, and toner in the
bottle is transported horizontally. Due to the coil transport, stable toner supply/enhanced supply
precision/reduction of residual toner are achieved.
