Waste toner transport
The waste toner is passed through waste
toner transport screw 1 and waste toner
mechanism:
pipe 2 to waste toner bottle 3.
Waste toner bottle 3 is rotated by the
main drive gear via gear 4 to transport
toner evenly.
When the waste toner bottle is full of
waste toner, the rotation torque of gear 4
is increased to escape gear 5 in the
arrow direction A, and switch 6 is turned
on at the same time to light the waste
toner replacement lamp.

The upper and lower heat roller sections are separated by rotating
operations with the transport roller as a fulcrum, providing better
serviceability.
