Abstract
An imaging cartridge contains a wastebin and a hopper connected to the wastebin. A flat mounting surface on the wastebin receives a circuit board. A microswitch actuating tab is formed on the body of the imaging cartridge. A hopper is connected to the wastebin in a manner such that the hopper is supported entirely by the wastebin when the imaging cartridge is installed in the imaging cartridge receiving cavity of the imaging machine. The hopper is void of any protrusions adapted to rest on a supporting member in the imaging cartridge receiving cavity of the imaging machine.
