Toner Cartridge Installation
Pins
1, 2, 3
The front face of the toner cartridge has three triangular projections on
which positioning pins are mounted. Pins 1 and 3 on the sides mate
into the hard plastic of the carousel. Pin 2 on the top mates into a white
nylon bushing. These pins help fix the cartridge housing to the carousel
in a rotational axis, while still allowing for the slight lateral press that
occurs during development. The slot for pin 2 is spring-loaded and also
assists in cartridge separation after development.
Pins
4, 5, 6
There are three toner-color identification pins projecting from the
carousel end panel. The arrangement of pins is unique for each bay.
These pins mate into three slots on the rear face of the cartridge. A
fourth slot on each cartridge is plugged to prevent the cartridge from
being installed into an incorrect bay.
