magicolor 1680MF magicolor 1690MF Theory of Operation Ver. 1.0 Nov. 2008 12.2 Drive Imaging cartridge 12. Developing section COMPOSITION/ OPERATION Transport motor Rack motor A034T2C511AA 12.3 Operation 12.3.1 Toner flow • Toner stored in the hopper is conveyed into the toner supply portion through rotation of the toner cartridge rack. • The toner conveyed into the toner supply portion is conveyed by the supply roller onto the developing roller. • Toner then sticks to the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photo conductor. That part of toner left on the surface of the developing roller is returned to the toner supply portion. Developing roller Supply roller A034T2C514AA 33
