Toner replenishment and cartridge package system.

摘要

A bottom-dumping xerographic toner cartridge (26) is protected by a storage and shipping package having strategically located zipper perforations, and a tuck-flap (22). One end of the package is removable by virtue of certain zipper perforations. Removal of this end, and operation of other zipper perforations, results in the tuck-flap (22) being exposed for use in mounting the package on the reproduction device (27, 28, 29, 100) whose toner supply is to be replenished. The toner cartridge (26) is then moved out of the package, into the reproduction device. The now-empty package remains supported in a position to catch the toner cartridge's traveling-fold seal, and any toner which may be transported out of the cartridge on the face of the seal.
