Problems solved by technology

[0005] - Discarded toner may not be disposed of properly, causing potential safety and ecological hazards, which are also harmful to the supplier's reputation
[0006] reputation poses a significant risk;
[0007] - It is foreseeable that unused toner will be collected and resold without processing / quality control to meet original specifications, such that poor quality products in the market may pose a significant risk to the reputation of the original toner supplier;
[0008] - In the production of toner and ink cartridge bottles, additional material is consumed unnecessarily to compensate for waste, thus having a direct impact on the environment

Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 Shown is a front view of a device (1) for controlling access to one or more replaceable containers for dispensing imaging material or object forming material (i.e. a container for dispensing printing material), which may be For example, toner cartridges. figure 1 A device for controlling access to replaceable containers of a printing device, such as an imaging device (e.g., a printer) or an object forming device (e.g., a 3D printer), is shown, wherein each cover (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) each covering a corresponding toner cartridge, with each cover in a closed position. Image forming apparatuses include, for example, printers, copiers, and multifunction peripherals (MFPs). Alternatively, the device may be a device for additive manufacturing or free form manufacturing, such as a 3D printer. An openable, closeable cover (2) provides a barrier to access to the toner cartridge. Thus, if the cover (2) is locked in the closed position, the user cannot replace the corresp...

Abstract

A device (1) for controlling user access to at least one container (4) for dispensing printing material housed by a printing apparatus (5), the device (1) comprising an openable and closable barrier (2) corresponding to the container (4) and a lock for locking the barrier (2) in a closed position. The lock is overlapped by at least a portion of the barrier (2) both when the barrier (2) is in the closed position and when the barrier (2) is in an open position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a device for controlling access to a container for dispensing printing material contained by a printing device. Background technique [0002] Many imaging devices allow the user to replace the toner cartridge at any time. As a result, users often replace the toner cartridge prematurely. [0003] This underutilization of toner cartridges has significant economic, commercial, and environmental impacts: [0004] - High cost of discarded toner; [0005] - Discarded toner may not be disposed of properly, causing potential safety and ecological hazards, which are also harmful to the supplier's reputation [0006] reputation poses a significant risk; [0007] - It is foreseeable that unused toner will be collected and resold without processing / quality control to meet original specifications, such that poor quality products in the market may pose a significant risk to the reputation of the original toner supplier; [000...
