A microswitch actuating tab for a toner cartridge to activate the printer when the printer door is fully closed. The microswitch-actuating tab actuates the printer microswitch even when the door of the printer has worn latches or hinges and does not fully close. The microswitch has a uniform thickness and is taller than conventional actuating tabs. It therefore provides a more positive engagement of the microswitch. The actuating tab is structurally stronger than prior art microswitch actuating tabs and has a greater height so that it remains effective even when the hinges and latches of the printer door are worn, loose, or on otherwise poor condition. The printer therefore receives an activating signal when the door of the printer is closed even if the printer has worn latches and hinges.
