ABSTRACT:
A toner cartridge includes: a casing; a partitioning wall; and an operation member. The casing is configured to accommodate toner therein. The casing is formed with a first casing opening. The partitioning wall is configured to be rotatable relative to the casing around a predetermined rotational axis. The partitioning wall has a side surface that extends substantially parallel to the rotational axis and a pair of opposite ends that are arranged opposing each other along the rotational axis, a first partitioning-wall opening being formed through the side surface of the partitioning wall, the first partitioning-wall opening being selectively aligned with the first casing opening when the partitioning wall is rotated relative to the casing. The operation member rotates the partitioning wall relative to the casing, the operation member including a pair of lever members rotatably supported on the casing that when rotated apply a rotating operation to both of the pair of opposite ends of the partitioning wall.
