ABSTRACT:
An image formation apparatus having an image carrier; a first removable unit including at least a cleaning system and a toner recovery feeding device; and a second removable unit including a developing system for developing an electrostatic latent image and a toner recovery collecting device for collecting the toner recovered by the first unit. A guide member on the first unit interacts with an indexing member on the second unit, in response to insertion of the second unit, into the image formation apparatus, to interconnect the toner collecting device of the second unit with the toner recovery feeding device of the first unit and to position the second unit with respect to the image carrier.
