Abstract:
A replaceable imaging unit according to one example embodiment includes a photoconductor unit positioned at the front of a housing of the imaging unit. First and second alignment guides extend outward at the same height from first and second sides of the housing, respectively, on the photoconductor unit and run parallel to each other along a front-to-rear dimension of the housing. Each of the first and second alignment guides includes a front contact member at a front end thereof and a rear contact member at a rear end thereof. The front contact members are positioned further outward sideways than the rear contact members. Bottom surfaces of the front and rear contact members are unobstructed to permit the bottom surfaces of the front and rear contact members to sit on top of corresponding guide rails in the image forming device to control a vertical position of the imaging unit.

Claim (Index 19):
A replaceable imaging unit for use in an electrophotographic image forming device, comprising:\n a housing having a top, a bottom, a front and a rear positioned between a first side and a second side of the housing, the housing includes:\n a photoconductor unit positioned at the front of the housing, the photoconductor unit includes a rotatable photoconductive drum having a rotational axis that extends from the first side of the housing to the second side of the housing; \n a developer unit having a reservoir for storing toner and a rotatable developer roll positioned to transfer toner from the reservoir to the photoconductive drum; and \n a handle frame positioned at the rear of the housing and attached to the photoconductor unit, the handle frame includes a handle exposed for user engagement to assist with insertion and removal of the imaging unit into and out of the image forming device; and \n a first alignment wing extending outward from the first side of the housing on the handle frame and a second alignment wing extending outward from the second side of the housing on the handle frame at the same height as the first alignment wing, the first and second alignment wings run parallel to each other along a front-to-rear dimension of the housing, each of the first and second alignment wings includes an outer side surface that is unobstructed to permit the outer side surfaces to contact corresponding guides in the image forming device during insertion of the imaging unit into the image forming device, wherein each of the first and second alignment wings includes a tapered front portion that inclines outward sideways as the tapered front portion extends rearward.
