Toner container and printing device
In one example, a toner container has an interior volume defined by a body and a pair of wings extending up and out from the body.
1. A printing device, comprising:
a housing;
a photoconductor in the housing to apply toner to a print substrate;
a developer in the housing to apply toner to the photoconductor;
an output tray to support printed substrates; and
a toner container in the housing to supply toner to the developer, the toner container having a first part below the output tray and a second part above the output tray, wherein the first part of the toner container comprises a body located wider the output tray and the second part of the toner container comprises a pair of wings extending up and out from the body, and wherein the wings are integrated into the housing as a non-removable load bearing structure.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the output tray comprises a single output tray.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the wings of the toner container are integrated into the housing as a non-removable exterior feature.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein:
the photoconductor, developer, and output surface are located in a first part of the housing;
the device further comprises a scanner in a second part of the housing over the first part of the housing; and
the toner container is located wholly in the first part of the housing.
5. A multifunction printing device, comprising;
a housing;
a printer supported in a lower part of the housing;
a scanner operatively connected to the printer, the scanner supported over the printer in an upper part of the housing;
the printer including a photoconductor to apply toner to a print substrate, a developer to apply toner to the photoconductor, a light source to selective expose parts of the photoconductor to light, and a toner container to supply toner to the developer, the toner container having an interior volume defined by a body and a tower located above one side of the body, wherein the interior volume of the toner container comprises a U-shaped interior volume defined by the body of the toner container and a pair of towers located above opposite sides the body, and wherein the towers are integrated into the housing as a non-removable exterior feature.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein each of the towers is integrated into the housing as a non-removable load bearing structure supporting the scanner.
7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the interior volume of the toner container has a capacity sufficient to store enough toner to print a minimum number of pages that corresponds to a predetermined expected useful life of the printer.
