OPERATION

12.3.5

Developing system

•

The machine employs the single-component, non-contact developing system.

•

In the non-contact, single-component developing system, the magnetic brush does not

rub the surface of the photo conductor (or the image). This prevents a foggy image from

occurring and the photo conductor from being worn.

12.3.6

Toner cartridge (TC) life control

Toner cartridge detection and new cartridge detection timing

•

The machine attempts to perform a detection sequence when the front door is closed.

Toner cartridge detection

•

The machine accesses the TC detection board (CSIC) to check for data stored in it.

Using that data, the machine determines whether or not a toner cartridge is loaded.

New Toner cartridge detection

•

After a toner cartridge has been detected, the machine determines whether it is new or

not based on the data acquired.

Toner cartridge near empty and empty condition detection

•

The amount of toner consumed is calculated from the number of dots produced for one

printed page by the controller. A toner near empty condition and a toner empty condition

are thereby detected.

•

The machine determines that there is a toner near empty condition when the image

counter and dot counter reach the life value.

•

The machine determines that there is a toner empty condition when a predetermined

number of printed pages are produced after the toner near empty condition has been

detected.
