When the toner bottle is set, a lock mechanism locks it in place.

  • Pressing release lever [A] unlocks the bottle so it can be removed.
  • The interlock switch [B] detects when the toner bank door is opened to stop the rotation of the bottles, and this is also a safety device.
  • The machine will continue to operate without pause after the toner near-end alert has appeared and the toner bank door is opened by the operator to replace the bottle.
  • The operator should replace the bottle as quickly as possible because toner supply halts when the door is opened and will not resume until the door has been closed.
