Abstract

The invention provides a developer cartridge and an image formation apparatus. The developer cartridge is provided, which contains developer made of toner and carrier and is detachably mounted in a body of an image formation apparatus. The developer cartridge is configured to include an ID chip in which a carrier content rate of the developer contained in an inner container of the developer cartridge is stored.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with the filing date of March 16, 2009, the application number of 200910128529.0, and the invention title of "developer cartridge and image forming device". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile machine, or a compound machine of these machines, and to a developer cartridge detachably provided in the apparatus. Specifically, the present invention relates to a developer cartridge of a premixed developer replenishing system that can properly supply new developer to a developing unit, and to an image forming apparatus including such a developer cartridge. Background technique [0003] In the prior art, it is known that copiers or printers have a pre-mixed developer replenishment system (eg, , disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-4559 (Document 1), Japanese Patent Applicatio...
