Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus and a development cartridge are provided. The electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a body including an opening, a photoreceptor cartridge attached to, or detached from, the body through the opening, a photoconductive drum and a mounting portion, a development cartridge attached to, or detached from, the mounting portion through the opening while the photoreceptor cartridge is mounted in the body, a development roller supplying toner to an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoconductive drum, a cover for opening or closing the opening, and a pressurizing unit fixing the development cartridge to the mounting portion by providing a pressing force to the development cartridge in a direction parallel to a center line connecting centers of the photoconductive drum and development roller while the opening is closed.
Abstract:
Provided is a process cartridge attachable to and detachable from a main body of an image forming apparatus. The process cartridge includes at least one roller, sidewalls on an axial direction of the at least one roller, and a first cartridge electric contact and a second cartridge electric contact provided on the sidewalls. One of the first cartridge electric contact and the second cartridge electric contact is a fixed electric contact, and the other is a movable electric contact that is movable in a direction protruding from the sidewalls.
Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus and development cartridge are provided. The apparatus including a separating member mounted in a development cartridge. The separating member includes a development nip separating portion and a charging nip separating portion respectively separating a development nip and a charging nip when the development cartridge is mounted in a mounting portion of a photoreceptor cartridge mounted in a body.

Abstract:
A toner cartridge and an electrophotographic image forming apparatus are provided. The toner cartridge attachable to, or detachable from a main body of an image forming apparatus includes a toner containing unit, a waste toner containing unit that is disposed below the toner containing unit in a gravitational direction and comprises a waste toner inlet through which waste toner flows, a first waste toner transporting member that transports the waste toner from the waste toner inlet in a length direction of the waste toner containing unit, and a second waste toner transporting member that transports the waste toner that is transported in the length direction of the waste toner containing unit in a width direction of the waste toner containing unit to disperse the waste toner in an inner portion of the waste toner containing unit, wherein a rotational center of the second waste toner transporting member is lower than a rotational center of the first waste toner transporting member.
Abstract:
A cartridge that is attached to or detached from a main body of an image forming apparatus. The cartridge includes a memory unit that includes a contact portion via which the cartridge is connected to the main body and is connected to the main body to transmit information of the cartridge to the main body. The contact portion is moved to a first position at which the contact portion is hidden inside the cartridge and a second position at which the contact portions is protruded out of the cartridge to be connected to a connection portion provided in the main body.
Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes for example a toner supply unit including a toner containing unit and a toner discharging unit having a toner outlet; a photoreceptor unit including a photoreceptor; a development unit including a development roller that supplies toner to develop the electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor and a supply roller that supplies toner to the development roller; a first toner supply member that supplies toner of the toner containing unit to the toner discharging unit; and a second toner supply member that transports toner of the toner discharging unit to the toner outlet. The first toner supply member is located in a second quadrant from among first through fourth quadrants based on a vertical line and a horizontal line which intersect at the second toner supply member, and the photoreceptor, the supply roller, and the development roller are located in the fourth quadrant.
