Electrophotographic printer and cartridge arrangement.

摘要

An electrophotographic printer having a base and a top, the top being pivotable about an axis (23) between a closed position and an open position. The printer receives a supply cartridge (14) on a shelf (22) which is pivotable about the same axis (23) as the top of the printer. A counterbalance spring (34) helps to support the shelf (22) and the cartridge (14) below the top of the printer and above the printer base when the top of the printer is in its open position. When the top of the printer is closed, the cartridge (14) is urged into a position adjacent the printer base and locked into an operative position.
