Embodiment Construction

[0032] Such asfigure 1 As shown, the printer 1 is a horizontal direct tandem color laser printer. The printer 1 includes a main casing 2 for feeding a plurality of sheets P to be printed, an image forming unit 4 for feeding a plurality of sheets of paper P to be printed, and an image forming unit 4 for feeding the Images are formed on a plurality of sheets P conveyed from the feeding unit 3, and the image reading unit 5 is used to read image data from source documents. Thus, the printer 1 is a multifunction peripheral provided integrally with the image forming unit 4 and the image reading unit 5 .

[0033] The main housing 2 has a substantially rectangular box shape in side view. A feeding unit 3 , an image forming unit 4 , and an image reading unit 5 are housed in the main housing 2 . A front cover 6 is provided on one side wall of the main housing 2 for exposing the inside of the main housing 2 for mounting or detaching of a later-described processing unit 16 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a developer container comprising a housing, a transmission component, a transmission component containing unit, and a supporting component, wherein the housing extends longitudinally and includes a developer containing chamber and a waste developer containing chamber and a first opening, the first opening providing fluid communication between the developer containing chamber and the outer part of the housing. The transmission component is employed for transmitting waste developer in transmission direction. The transmission component containing unit contains the transmission component and is provided with a upstream end portion, a downstream end portion in transmission direction, a second opening, and a third opening, wherein the second opening is arranged in the upstream end portion and provides fluid communication between the inner part and the outer part of the transmission component containing unit, and the third opening provides fluid communication between the inner part of the transmission containing unit and the waste developer chamber. The supporting component is employed for supporting the transmission component containing unit so as to enable the transmission component containing unit to move perpendicularly to the vertical direction relative to the housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developer container and an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] One type of electrophotographic color printer well known in the art is a tandem color laser printer equipped with four photosensitive drums for supporting the use of four color toners of yellow, magenta, cyan and black. Each of the four photosensitive drums corresponds to each of four developer cartridges for supplying developer to the corresponding photosensitive drum. One such tandem color laser printer includes a developing unit having, as a developer cartridge, a toner cartridge for accommodating toner corresponding to each color. The toner cartridge has a toner accommodating portion for accommodating new toner and a waste toner accommodating portion for accommodating waste toner. [0003] The toner cartridge provided in the developing unit described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-128754 is formed with a lower ...
