    摘要: A toner container includes a cap part that accommodates an opening of a main part and includes a bottom formed into a toner outlet for discharging toner from the opening of the main part downward in a vertical direction to a part outside the toner container, and a shutter member that is arranged to open or close the toner outlet by movement of the shutter member along an outer circumferential surface of the cap part. The cap part includes a non-compatible shape part disposed at a position on the outer circumferential surface of the cap part, the position being specific to a kind of the toner container to uniquely identify the kind of the toner container, the non-compatible shape part having a convex or concave shape, extending along the longitudinal direction and being arranged to confront from a position of a head end of the cap part in the longitudinal direction toward the main part.
