    摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided, which is capable of using such a toner cartridge preferentially without interrupting an image forming action as is desired for an early use and which has the least toner remaining amount. When a toner density in a developer container (15K) to be supplied with the toner from either of two toner cartridges (8K1,8K2) becomes low, a control section (7) drives either of motors (9K1,9K2) in response to toner remaining amount detection information which is information on the remaining amount of the toner contained in each of the toner cartridges, so that the toner may be supplied from the toner cartridge having the least toner remaining amount. Thus, the toner can be supplied to the developer container (15K) from the toner cartridge (8) having the least toner remaining amount.

    摘要: Disclosed is a cartridge (30) having an encoder wheel (31) thereon for encoding EP supply cartridge characteristic information for an electrophotographic machine, the cartridge comprising a sump (33) for carrying an initial amount of toner (35). A shaft (32) is mounted for rotation in said sump, and an agitator or paddle (34) is mounted thereon in such a manner that when the shaft (32) rotates, the paddle (34) rotates into, through and out of engagement with toner (35) carried by the sump. A single encoder wheel (31) is mounted on the shaft (32), external of the sump (33), the encoder wheel positioned for proximate mating coaction with a coded wheel reader when the cartridge (30) is mounted in position in the electrophotographic machine. A variable torque flexible coupling connects the drive means of the electrophotographic machine to the shaft (32) to effect rotation thereof. The encoder wheel (31) is configured for indicating, in conjunction with said coded wheel reader, a component of resistance to paddle (34) movement through the portion of said sump (33) having toner (35) therein to give an indication of the amount of toner remaining in said sump. Other portions of the wheel (31), in a portion thereof which confronts the reader during a substantially constant velocity of rotation thereof, carry additional characteristic information of the cartridge (30) to permit proper operation of the machine as well as increased efficiency of operation thereof.

    摘要: A toner conveying means disposed in a housing includes an upstream-side toner conveying means and a downstream-side toner conveying means. A toner amount detector means is disposed to detect whether the amount of toner in the downstream portion of the housing is greater than a predetermined amount or not, and the upstream-side toner conveying means is not operated when the amount of toner is greater than the predetermined amount in the downstream portion of the housing. A toner replenishment signal is produced when the amount of toner does not become greater than the predetermined amount in the downstream portion of the housing despite the downstream-side toner conveying means is operated for more than a predetermined period of time.
