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 8):
An electronic module for mounting on a replaceable unit of an image forming device for estimating an amount of toner remaining in a reservoir of the replaceable unit, the electronic module comprising:\n processing circuitry and memory, the processing circuitry programmed:\n to store in the memory an actual count of a number of pulses of a magnetic sensor indicative that the magnetic sensor detected a magnet on a rotating component in the reservoir of the replaceable unit; and \n to store in the memory a filtered count of the number of pulses of the magnetic sensor indicative that the magnetic sensor detected the magnet on the rotating component in the reservoir of the replaceable unit.
