Replaceable unit for an electrophotographic image forming device having an engagement member for positioning a magnetic sensor

摘要

A replaceable unit for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one embodiment includes 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 has a reservoir for storing toner. A rotatable shaft is positioned within the reservoir and has an axis of rotation. A magnet in the reservoir is movable in response to rotation of the shaft. A projection is positioned on an exterior of the top of the housing. The projection is aligned with a point in a path of movement of the magnet in the reservoir. The projection has a front surface that is unobstructed to contact and push a housing in the image forming device supporting a magnetic sensor to an operating position of the magnetic sensor during insertion of the replaceable unit into the image forming device.
