Toner end condition
If the machine makes more than 100 copies during the toner near-end condition or
the mechanical control board detects a low output for more than 9.2 seconds, it
disables copying and ?Add toner? is displayed on the LCD. This is the toner end
condition.
DetailedToner end recovery
Descriptions
Replacing the toner cassette clears the toner end condition. If the main switch is
turned off and back on, or the upper unit is opened and closed during the toner
near-end condition or toner end condition, the machine assumes that the toner
cassette has been replaced. It then rotates the main motor for toner cassette
initialization. At the same time, the mechanical control board monitors the output
from the sensor. The machine clears the toner end condition if the mechanical
control board detects a high output from the toner end sensor for more then 5
seconds.
Toner saving mode
In this mode, the machine prints by cutting out some of the pixels of the video data
(about 30%) to save toner.
This mode can be selected by changing bit 2 of user bit switch 02.
