| description | The present invention refers to a toner cartridge for use in an image forming device. The toner cartridge comprises a housing having a top, a bottom, a front, and a rear positioned between a first side and a second side of the housing. The housing defines a reservoir for containing toner therein. The cartridge further comprises an exit port in fluid communication with the reservoir and facing downward on the front of the housing near the first side as well as a first alignment guide positioned on the first side of the housing and a second alignment guide positioned on the second side of the housing at substantially the same height as the first alignment guide. The cartridge also comprises a toner delivery system for transferring toner from the reservoir out of the exit port. The toner delivery system includes a main interface gear for providing rotational power to the toner delivery system with a portion of the main interface gear being exposed on the front of the housing at the second side of the housing above the second alignment guide. Finally the cartridge comprises a connector on the first side of the housing having a forward facing opening positioned above the first alignment guide with electrical contacts being positioned within the connector and being accessible through the forward facing opening of the connector. The electrical contacts are electrically connected to processing circuitry of the toner cartridge. |
