13.2 Description of Functions
(1) Main blade
Scrapes off residual toner on the drum surface. The blade is pushed against the drum at a constant
pressure by a weight. The main blade is separated from the drum by manually turning the lever.
(2) Recovery blade
Catches the toner after it is scraped off by the main blade.
(3) Toner recovery auger
Carries scraped residual toner to the toner bag via the waste toner carry auger unit.
(4) Toner bag
Toner scraped off by the main blade is carried by the toner recovery auger, and recovered to the toner
bag via the waste toner carry auger unit.
(5) Toner full switch
When the toner bag becomes full of recovered toner, its weight causes both the toner bag and
actuator to drop, and the toggle switch to be turned OFF.
(6) Separation claw
To separate paper that could not be separated by the transport belt, the separation claw is pressed
against the drum by the separation claw solenoid only when the leading edge of the paper passes
through.
