A toner cartridge (100) for use with a developer unit (200) of an image forming device (20) according to one example embodiment includes a housing (104) having a front (107), a rear (108), a top (105), a bottom (106), a first side (109) and a second side (110). The housing has a reservoir (102) for holding toner. An outlet port (118) is positioned on the housing for transferring toner from the reservoir to the developer unit. An alignment slot (156) on the front of the housing is open at a bottom end of the alignment slot to receive an alignment pin (250) of the developer unit. The alignment slot has a width that narrows from the bottom end of the alignment slot to a middle section of the slot and that widens from the middle section of the alignment slot to a top end of the alignment slot.
