<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent, by a simple structure, a user from erroneously pealing a sheet-like film before a toner cartridge is attached to an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: After folded at the other end 55b of the toner cartridge 55 so as to seal a replenishment opening 56a, the sheet-like film 71 is stuck to the toner cartridge 55 that is freely attached/detached to/from the main body of the image forming apparatus. An operating part 71 that is provided in one end of the sheet-like film 70 is stuck to the toner cartridge so as to seal a recycle toner recovery opening 59 made in one end 55a of the toner cartridge 55. When the toner cartridge 55 is inserted in the main body of the apparatus from the other end 55b in the direction of the arrow Y that is parallel to the direction of the length of the toner cartridge 55, the operation part 71 is detached from the toner cartridge 55 in contact with part of the main body of the apparatus, which is connected to the recycle toner recovery opening 59. Then, while the operation part 71 is pulled, the sheet-like film 70 is pealed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
