6.7 TONER SUPPLY AND AGITATOR DRIVE MECHANISM
The toner supply clutch gear [A] turns when the main motor is on. The
transmission of this rotation to the toner supply drive gear [B] is controlled by
the toner supply clutch [C].
When the toner supply clutch solenoid [D] energizes, the toner supply clutch
engages and starts turning the toner supply drive gear. The toner supply
drive gear turns the toner supply roller gear [E]. Toner catches in the grooves
on the toner supply roller [F]. Then, as the grooves turn past the pin hole
plate [G], the toner drops into the development unit through the pin holes.
The toner agitator [H] mechanism, which is contained in the toner cartridge,
prevents toner from blocking. The toner agitator gear [I] turns whenever the
toner supply clutch solenoid is engaged. Rotation passes through the toner
cartridge casing to the agitator junction [J].
