9-1. Toner Hopper Locking/Unlocking

The Toner Hopper is not integrated into the Imaging Unit; instead, it is secured to

the copier. To replace an empty Toner Bottle, the user first needs to swing the Toner

Bottle Holder out 40° to the front. The Holder pivots about the Toner Supply Port as

it is swung out or in, which effectively prevents toner from spilling when the Holder

is swung out or in.

9-2. Toner Replenishing

D Drive from Toner Replenishing Motor M8 is transmitted via the motor shaft to the Bottle

Cap Claw, which turns the Toner Bottle. As the Toner Bottle is fitted to the Coupling,

both turn together during toner replenishing.

D There is a Metering Chamber provided at the toner supply port of the Coupling. It func-

tions to regulates the amount of toner that falls through the port.

D There is a supply port for the exclusive use of the starter. The starter does not pass

through the Metering Chamber, which means that it takes a shorter time to charge the

starter.
