(2)  Function of auto-toner sensor
The auto-toner sensor consists of the following circuits:
· Drive winding
:  A  magnetic  head  (primary  side)  with  a  high-frequency  magnetic  field,
which forms a magnetic circuit in the developer material.
· Detection winding
:  Receives the change in the magnetic resistance of the developer material
through the magnetic circuit (secondary side).
· DC conversion circuit  : Converts  a  high-frequency  output  from  the  detection  winding  into  a  DC
signal (auto-toner output V
ATS
).
When the toner density is low—
 The ratio of the toner against the carrier in the developer material decreases.
 →
The magnetic resistance decreases.
 →
The detection output increases.
 →
The auto-toner output V
ATS
increases.
When the toner density is high—
 The ratio of the toner against the carrier in the developer material increases.
 →
The magnetic resistance increases.
 →
The detection output decreases.
 →
The auto-toner output V
ATS
decreases.
