Toner cartridge movable to detachment direction by reverse rotation of coupler
An example toner cartridge includes a housing to accommodate toner and having a toner discharge port at one side, a conveying member inside the housing to rotate to convey the toner toward the toner discharge port, a driven coupler to rotate by a rotational force, and an ejector to rotate by the driven coupler. Either one of the driven coupler and the ejector is rotatably supported by a side wall of the housing in the longitudinal direction and connected to the conveying member to rotate the conveying member. The other one of the driven coupler and the ejector moves in a direction spaced apart from the side wall with respect to either one of the driven coupler and the ejector when the driven coupler rotates in a reverse direction which is an opposite direction to a forward direction in which the toner is conveyed toward the toner discharge port.
