Abstract:
A method for estimating an amount of toner remaining in a reservoir of a replaceable unit for an image forming device according to one example embodiment includes receiving by processing circuitry pulses from a magnetic sensor. Each pulse is indicative that the magnetic sensor detected a magnet on a moving paddle positioned in the reservoir. The processing circuitry counts the number of the pulses received from the magnetic sensor. Upon receiving a request from a controller of the image forming device, the processing circuitry sends to the controller of the image forming device the count of the pulses received from the magnetic sensor and resets the count of the pulses received from the magnetic sensor.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein storing the count of the number of pulses of the magnetic sensor includes storing an actual count of the number of pulses of the magnetic sensor and storing a filtered count of the number of pulses of the magnetic sensor.
