    Abstract: A rechargeable toner cartridge assembly includes a toner cartridge, a toner refilling bottle and a filter device. The toner cartridge includes a toner refilling hole and a connection portion, both of which are disposed on one end of the toner cartridge and penetrate through a housing of the toner cartridge. The toner refilling bottle contains toner, which is refilled into the toner cartridge through the toner refilling hole. The filter device connected to the connection portion filters the toner off a mixed gas overflowing from the toner cartridge to discharge clean air, wherein the toner cartridge and the filter device are two independent devices. The filter device and a rechargeable toner cartridge without a built-in inner air filter element are also provided.

    Abstract: A printer module includes a frame body, a drum, a print head and a print-head moving mechanism. The drum is detachably connected to the frame body. The print-head moving mechanism movably connected to the frame body moves the print head in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of gravity exerted on the print-head moving mechanism. The print-head moving mechanism includes: a shaft rotatably connected to the frame body; an actuating rod connected to the shaft and rotated to rotate the shaft; and an actuating member connected to shaft and rotated with rotation of the shaft, so that the print head is moved between a first position and a second position. Thus, the volume occupied by the printer module can be reduced, the user's operation can be simplified, the influence and interference of the gravity can further be eliminated to simplify the design of the print-head moving mechanism.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a drum, a toner processing module and a first mounting space. The drum is disposed in the housing. The toner processing module supplies toners to the drum. The first mounting space accommodates a first print head. The first print head provides a light ray to perform a writing operation on the drum. When the first print head is present, the light ray of the first print head disposed in the first mounting space passes through an optical channel of the toner processing module to perform the writing operation on the drum. Thus, the optimum configurations of the print head and the drum can be achieved, to effectively reduce a size of the image forming apparatus and satisfy diversified requirements without spending a high cost.

    Abstract: A fixation module comprises a body, a heater roller, a pressure roller, a separation claw assembly and a detector. The heater roller and the pressure roller are rotatably connected to the body. The pressure roller and the heater roller transport a medium and perform a fixation process on the medium. The separation claw assembly connected to the body exerts a pressure toward the heater roller. When the medium passes through a clearance between the heater roller and the separation claw assembly, the medium pushes the separation claw assembly away from the heater roller. The detector detects a state where the separation claw assembly is pushed away from the heater roller by the medium. A printing apparatus for transferring and fixing toners onto the medium and comprising the fixation module, a drum, a development roller and a transfer roller is also provided.
