    Abstract: A toner container according to one example embodiment includes a latch catch projecting upward on a top of a body of the toner container. The latch catch is spaced from a second longitudinal end of the body and positioned closer to the second longitudinal end of the body than to a first longitudinal end of the body. The latch catch includes a first contact surface that faces toward the second longitudinal end of the body for contacting a first corresponding surface of a latch in an image forming device to restrain the toner container along a longitudinal dimension of the toner container in a direction from the first longitudinal end of the body toward the second longitudinal end of the body when the toner container is in an installed position in the image forming device.

    Abstract: A system for an electrophotographic image forming device includes a first replaceable unit and a second replaceable unit. A drive coupler in the image forming device is movable between a retracted position and an operative position. In the retracted position, the drive coupler is disengaged from a drive interface of the first replaceable unit when the first replaceable unit is installed in the image forming device. In the operative position, the drive coupler is engaged with the drive interface when the first replaceable unit is installed in the image forming device for providing rotational force to the drive interface. A movable drive linkage in the image forming device is operatively connected to the drive coupler to move the drive coupler from the retracted position to the operative position upon the drive linkage receiving an actuation force from the insertion of the second replaceable unit into the image forming device.

    Abstract: An assembly for an image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a toner container removably installable in the image forming device and a latch movable between a latching position restraining the toner container along a longitudinal dimension of the toner container and an unlatching position freeing the toner container to move along the longitudinal dimension of the toner container. A latch actuator has a user engagement surface that is movable along the longitudinal dimension of the toner container between a home position and an actuating position. Pushing the user engagement surface moves the latch actuator from the home position toward the actuating position causing the latch actuator to move the latch from the latching position to the unlatching position to free the toner container for removal from the image forming device.

    Abstract: A toner cartridge according to one embodiment includes a housing having first and second alignment guides that extend outward from a first side and a second side of the housing, respectively, and that run along a front-to-rear dimension of the housing. Third and fourth alignment guides extend outward from the first side of the housing. The third alignment guide is spaced toward the front of the housing from the fourth alignment guide. Bottom surfaces of the third and fourth alignment guides are unobstructed to sit on top of a corresponding guide surface in an image forming device to control a vertical position of the toner cartridge in the image forming device. The bottom surfaces of the third and fourth alignment guides are aligned with each other in a vertical dimension of the housing and are positioned higher than the first and second alignment guides.

    Abstract: A system for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a first replaceable unit having a first shutter movable between a closed position blocking an outlet port of the first replaceable unit and an open position unblocking the outlet port. A second replaceable includes an inlet port that is configured to receive toner from the outlet port of the first replaceable unit. The second replaceable unit includes a second shutter movable between a closed position blocking the inlet port and an open position unblocking the inlet port. A portion of the first shutter of the first replaceable unit is positioned to contact and move the second shutter of the second replaceable unit from the closed position of the second shutter to the open position of the second shutter during insertion of the first replaceable unit into the image forming device.

    Abstract: A reusable media shell has a frame to hold sheets of media in an interior. A removable cap connects to the frame and its manipulation unveils the media for picking by an imaging device. The cap resides on a terminal end of the frame so the frame covers a majority of the media. A lift plate in the interior forces upward the sheets for picking. Two magnets on the frame magnetically secure the frame to magnets in a base of the imaging device and position the sheets in the base. Upstanding walls, a lid and bottom define the interior of the frame. Inserts attached to the walls allow adjustment to accommodate various sizes of the media.
