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.)
notice*1
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%.
NOTE:
After "Replace the toner cartridge."message is displayed, and approx. 2,000 sheets* are printed, *A4 6% image

Replace the toner cartridge.
(Job is stopped.)
No
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%.
After exchange.
No
notice*2
When detected a toner with hopper toner sensor (S26) and developing assembly toner sensor (S25) after the exchange of the toner container, a signal is notified of.
In addition, a toner residual quantity counter is initialized automatically.
*1 Prior delivery alarm
There are two kinds of following detection methods.
Set a detection timing. (service mode)
Detect it at a toner residual quantity counter (total of rotary time of the Hopper motor).
Set it at toner residual quantity 40-0%.

Detect it in hopper toner sensor (S26).
If the sub hopper toner sensor (S26) keeps detecting the absence of the toner for more than 90 sec after the drive of the bottle motor (M17) has been started, the detect.(Toner residual quantity 10-1%)
*2 Exchange completion alarm
WWhen detected a toner with two sensors (S26/S25) after the exchange of the toner container, a signal is notified of.
