Abstract:
A developing cartridge includes a housing, a developing roller, a lever, and a storage medium. The housing may be configured to store a developing agent. The developing roller may be rotatable about a first axis extending in a first direction. The storage medium may be swingable together with the lever in a swing direction. The storage medium may have an electric contact surface. The electric contact surface may be swingable between a retreat position and an advance position. The electric contact surface may be positioned at the retreat position when the lever is positioned at a first position. The electric contact surface may be positioned at the advance position in a case where the lever is positioned at a second position. The housing may be movable in the second direction relative to the lever and the electric contact surface in a case where the electric contact surface is positioned at the advance position.
