    摘要: Toners of the same color but with different characteristics are stored in the toner cartridges. For example, toners for high image quality (High Grade) with small particle diameter are stored in some toner cartridges and toners for low image quality (Low Grade) are stored in other toner cartridges. In this case, case, the mode of forming images using small particle diameter toner for high image quality using an image forming engine and the mode of forming images using a toner for low image quality using another image forming engine are executed by the image forming apparatus.

    摘要: Provided is an imaging cartridge with a universal body sculpted to mate with the imaging cartridge-receiving cavity of a plurality of imaging machine models. The universal body of the imaging cartridge enables the cartridge to be used with imaging machines made by different manufacturers, and different imaging machine models made by a common manufacturer. A plurality of recesses is formed in the leading end of the imaging cartridge body that accepts protuberances in an imaging machine's cartridge-receiving cavity and enables the cartridge to mate with a plurality of printers.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a toner cartridge that is configured to be detachably attachable to a main body of the image forming apparatus and stores toner, a cartridge memory unit that is provided in the toner cartridge and stores information on the toner cartridge, an image forming unit that forms a toner image using toner supplied from the toner cartridge, a memory determining unit that determines whether the cartridge memory unit is in a normal state, a count unit that counts an amount of toner consumption consumed for the toner image formed by the image forming unit, and a life determination unit that determines the life of the toner cartridge corresponding to an amount of residual toner remaining in the toner cartridge, wherein the life determination unit shifts its mode between a first life-determination mode in which the life is determined on the basis of a count value of the count unit and a second life-determination mode in which the life is determined on the basis of the toner density of a toner image used as a patch image formed by the image forming unit, on the basis of the result of determination of the memory determining unit.
