ABSTRACT:
A full waste toner container detector system which includes a waste toner container for storing waste toner collected from a photoreceptor surface, a flexible film member which projects into the container when the container is not filled up with waste toner and projects outwardly from the container due to the waste toner pressure when the container is full of waste toner, a reflection plate mounted on the external surface of the flexible member, a light source for irradiating the reflection plate, and a sensor provided in such a position as to receive light reflected by the reflection plate when the flexible member projects outwardly from the container.
