TONER CONTAINER HAVING A COMMON INPUT GEAR FOR A TONER AGITATOR AND ENCODED MEMBER

A toner container includes a housing having a toner reservoir. An input gear is positioned on the housing for mating with a corresponding output gear in an image forming device when the toner container is installed in the image forming device. A toner agitator is movably positioned in the reservoir. The toner agitator is operatively connected to the input gear such that rotation of the input gear in a first rotational direction causes movement of the toner agitator for agitating toner in the reservoir. An encoded member is encoded with authentication information of the toner container and is operatively connected to the input gear such that rotation of the input gear in a second rotational direction causes movement of the encoded member for communicating the authentication information of the toner container to a controller of the image forming device when the toner container is installed in the image forming device. 一种墨粉容器，其包括具有墨粉贮存器的壳体。输入齿轮被定位在壳体上，用于当墨粉容器安装在图像形成装置中时，与图像形成装置中的相应输出齿轮配合。墨粉搅拌器被可移动地定位在贮存器中。墨粉搅拌器可
