18-3. Toner Conveying/Collecting Mechanism
•
The toner which has been scraped off the surface of the PC Drum by the
Cleaning Blade is conveyed to the rear of the copier by the Toner
Conveying Coil and dropped into the Toner Collecting Bottle through the
Toner Chute.
•
The Toner Conveying Coil is driven by PC Drum Drive Motor M5. (For the
control of M5, see p. M-26.)
•
The Toner Collecting Bottle has a capacity of approx. 13 liters.
•
The amount of toner collected in the Toner Collecting Bottle can be
checked through the "Consumables Counter" of the Tech. Rep. mode.
When the count of "Toner Collect" of the "Consumables Counter" reaches
the prescribed setting (400K), the message "Maintenance time. Code: M2"
(warning) appears on the Touch Panel. If copies are further made, the
copier inhibits the initiation of a new copy cycle as soon as it has made
5,000 more copies. (For details, see "SWITCHES ON PWBs".)
•
Toner Collecting Bottle Set Switch S11 is provided to detect the Toner
Collecting Bottle installed in position so that the copier can inhibit the
initiation of a copy cycle if the Toner Collecting Bottle is not installed.
