<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the setting property or positioning accuracy of a new toner box and waste toner box. <P>SOLUTION: The imaging cartridge 4 is removably mounted to an image forming apparatus body 1a. A process unit 31 includes a development apparatus 23 for exposing an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor 21 to provide a toner image, and a cleaner 24 for collecting toner remaining on an image carrier after transfer of the toner image. The new toner box 25 is removably mounted to the process unit 31, and stores non-use toner supplied to the development apparatus 23. The waste toner box 26 is removably mounted to the process unit 31, and stores waste toner collected by the cleaner 24. A supporting mechanism 51 elastically interconnects the new toner box 25 and the waste toner box 26 relatively displaceably to make them supported mutually. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
