DEVELOPER AND ELECTRO PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS ADOPTING THE SAME

摘要

A developer and an electro-photographic image forming apparatus are provided to reduce a size of the electro-photographic image forming apparatus by separately arranging developing cartridges and toner cartridges so that the electro-photographic image forming apparatus can have sub-divided functions and can be simplified and the developer can smoothly operate with other components when the developer is mounted in a designated position of a main frame. A developer comprises a developer frame, multiple developing cartridges(20) which are sequentially mounted on the developer frame and have multiple toner feeders for receiving toner, multiple toner cartridges connected to the multiple toner feeders for supplying the toner, and a toner cartridge frame mountable to and removable from the developer frame. The multiple toner cartridges are mounted on the toner cartridge frame. The electro-photographic image forming apparatus comprises a main frame, a developer(40) mountable to and removable from the main frame, and a photosensitive drum(10) on which an electrostatic latent image is formed.
