Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a tray for a toner cartridge slidably coupled to the main body, a lever hinge-coupled to the tray to rotate, and a link member, hinge-coupled to the lever, to move when the lever is rotated. The lever rotates in a first direction when the tray is pushed into the main body and rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the tray is pulled out from the main body. The link member moves in a third direction when the lever is rotated in the first direction to so that pressure is applied to a customer replacement unit memory (CRUM) contact unit and moves in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction when the lever is rotated in the second direction so that the pressure is released from the CRUM contact unit.
