Toner Concentration Checksheet to Determine the Necessity of the Additional Developer Removal Procedure 1.

Entering the SP values into Table 1 will determine the risk of Toner Scattering. Check procedure: Step 1) Input the current SP values into the cells colored in yellow in Table 1 below. (Either go into the SP mode or refer to the SMC printout.) Step 2) Values input in step 1 are calculated and will appear in Table 2 as "A" and "B". Compare the results against " Condition 1 " and "Condition 2 ".

Input the SP values into the yellow cells

2. Check the Vt value after replacing with a new developer. Check procedure:
Step 1) Check the SP values (Table 3 below) after replacing the developer. Step 2) Compare the results against the values described in "Condition 3 ". Input the SP values into the yellow cells
