An imaging apparatus includes a guide frame and a printhead carrier coupled to the guide frame for reciprocating movement along a main scan direction. The printhead carrier includes a cartridge receptacle forming a box-like structure defining an interior space. The receptacle has a carrier floor, a carrier back wall having a bearing member for engaging the guide frame, a carrier side wall, and a carrier side opening located opposite across from the carrier side wall. The printhead cartridge is received through the carrier side opening into the interior space during a cartridge loading operation. A door is coupled to the cartridge receptacle adjacent the carrier side opening. The door has an open position to facilitate insertion of the printhead cartridge through the carrier side opening into the interior space, and a latched position to facilitate containment of the printhead cartridge in the cartridge receptacle.
