Provided are a developer cartridge and a developing apparatus using the
developer cartridge, the developer cartridge making it possible to set
the amount of developers that can be received to be large even when used
in a miniaturized developing device and simplify the mechanism for
opening/closing a supply outlet of the developer cartridge. As a result,
the developer cartridge has no wasted space and thus can be miniaturized.
In order to attain the above, the present invention provides a developer
cartridge including a developer receiving portion that receives a new
developer and has a section formed to have a shape that occupies a
substantially entire space that is allocated to the developer cartridge
to be attached.
