2.7.4 TONER HOPPER

Toner Supply



When the toner supply roller clutch [A] (inside the development motor unit [B]) turns
on, the agitator [C] mixes the toner transported by the air tube [G] from the toner bank
(the toner from the toner bank is new toner mixed with recycled toner). Then it moves
the toner from front to rear and sends it to the toner supply roller. Toner is caught in
the grooves in the toner supply roller [F]. Then, as the grooves turn past the opening,
the toner falls into the development unit.
The toner supply roller clutch [A] transfers drive from the development motor to the
toner supply roller gear [D], which drives the agitator gear [E].
