Toner empty control When the paper entry sensor (Z-21) or the COPY key (Z-26) is turned on, if the toner control sensor output (TCS) is HIGH, the toner supply solenoid (THS) is turned on to supply toner. If TCS is not driven LOW after 60 sec of toner supply, the developer cartridge replacement lamp is lighted and the machine is stopped.
