Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is provided including a body including an opening, a photoreceptor cartridge attached to, or detached from, the body through the opening and including a mounting portion, a development cartridge attached to, or detached from, the mounting portion through the opening when the photoreceptor cartridge is mounted in the body, and a cover opening or closing the opening and fixing the development cartridge to the mounting portion by pressurizing the development cartridge while the opening is closed.
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.
