5.2 Sequence of Detection (level of toner)
The level of toner is detected while the developing bias is applied during initial rotation
and warm-up.
The following is the sequence used to detect the level of toner during warm-up:
F05-502-01

A retry is made if
activation continues
for about 0.2 sec
or more.
The absence of
