(3) Toner recycling unit
A toner recycling system is adopted in this equipment. The toner, which has been recovered from
the drum surface by the drum cleaner, is transported to the developer unit by the toner recycling
unit, and thus the transported toner is recycled.
This unit consists of the recycle toner hopper to collect and mix the recycle toner, and the pipe to
transport the recycle toner from the drum cleaner to the recycle toner hopper.
