摘要:
A method of determining an output level of an output stack (20) of print media in an image forming apparatus (10). The print media is transported, one print medium (28) at a time, to the output stack (20). A sensor (40) positioned in association with the output stack (20) senses when the output level of the output stack has reached a near full level. At least one physical characteristic of the print media is identified which can affect the stacking of the print media. The number of the print media transported to the output stack (20) is counted after the near full level is sensed. A determination that the output level of the output stack has reached a full level is made, dependent upon each of the at least one physical characteristic and the counted number of the print media.
摘要:
A rotating cover (302) on the developer unit (34) of an imaging apparatus to prevent toner leaks from the toner entry port (205) of the developer unit. When installing a toner cartridge (35), the cartridge contacts a surface (312A) to cause the cover (302) to rotate to an open position, thereby exposing the toner port for receiving toner. Conversely, when the toner cartridge is removed the cover is rotated into a closed position with the aid of a torsion spring (308) so as to seal the toner entry port of the developer unit.
