ABSTRACT:
An imaging material replenishment system for a reproduction apparatus, with an imaging material container removably insertable into an insertion guide, which container has a containment lid automatically removed upon insertion, with a lid latching member with a latching notch normally latching the containment lid to the container. The insertion guide has a latch engaging member such as a fixed pin positioned to engage an unlatching ramp surface of the lid latching member as the container is inserted, a locking slot returning the pin therein during dispensing, and thus holding the lid there, and another, oppositely inclined, ramp surface automatically relatching the lid to the container as the container is removed after dispensing. An integrated contents encoding and interlock system is also provided.
