Toner Level Detection

Toner level | Status | Message | Operation
100 to 11% |  | No | When the sub hopper toner sensor (S26) detects absence of toner, the bottle motor (M17) is driven. Once the sub hopper toner sensor (S26) detects presence of toner, the bottle motor (M17) is stopped (to prevent toner leak).

10 to 1%

Replace the toner cartridge.
(Continuous printing is enabled.)

If the sub hopper toner sensor (S26) keeps detecting the absence of the toner for more than 90 seconds after the drive of the bottle motor (M17) has been started, a message is displayed in the bottom of control panel because the system determines that there is no toner in the toner cartridge. This state continues during printing and the toner cartridge can be replaced during printing.
After the Toner cartridge is replaced, the toner level returns to 100%.

0%

Replace the toner cartridge.
(Job is stopped.)

If the developing assembly toner sensor (S25) keeps detecting the absence of the toner for more than 40 sec after the drive of the hopper motor (M16) has been started, a message is displayed in the bottom of control panel because the system determines that there is no toner in the toner cartridge. The print operation stops.
After the toner cartridge is replaced, the toner level returns to 100%.
