Abstract
A photoconductor unit for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a housing and a photoconductive drum rotatably mounted on the housing. The photoconductive drum has an outer surface. A cap is detachably mounted on the housing. A lubricant supply is positioned to provide a lubricant material to the outer surface of the photoconductive drum. The lubricant supply is mounted on the cap such that detachment of the cap from the housing separates the lubricant supply from the housing permitting replacement of the lubricant supply independent of the photoconductive drum.
