In one example, a toner container for an electrophotographic printer includes a toner supply reservoir having a capacity sufficient to store enough toner to print a minimum number of pages that corresponds to a predetermined expected useful life of the printer. In another example, a toner container for an electrophotographic printer includes a toner supply reservoir that, when the container is installed in the printer, extends longitudinally a distance greater than the distance between the light source and the photoconductor and laterally substantially the full axial length of the photoconductor. In another example, a toner container for an electrophotographic printer includes an opening for the imaging light beam and a toner supply reservoir that includes a lower chamber extending laterally under the opening and an upper chamber connected to the lower chamber along both sides of the opening.
A toner container for an electrophotographic printer, the toner container comprising a housing enclosing a toner supply reservoir having a capacity sufficient to store enough toner to print a minimum number of pages that corresponds to a predetermined expected useful life of the printer.
A toner container for an electrophotographic printer having a photoconductor, a light source for selectively exposing parts of the photoconductor to a beam of light, and a light path along which the beam of light travels from the light source to the photoconductor, the container comprising a housing having an interior defining a toner supply reservoir that, when the container is installed in the printer, extends:
A toner container for an electrophotographic printer having a photoconductor, a light source for selectively exposing parts of the photoconductor to a beam of light, and a light path along which the beam of light travels from the light source to the photoconductor, the container comprising:
