Abstract: A toner container according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for holding toner. A rotatable shaft is positioned in the reservoir and has a rotational axis. A toner agitator is rotatably coupled to the rotatable shaft. A first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor are positioned on the housing. The first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor form a capacitor having a capacitance that changes in response to a change in an amount of toner in the reservoir between the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor. The first electrical conductor includes a rod positioned in the reservoir at the rotational axis of the rotatable shaft and extending along the rotational axis of the rotatable shaft.

Abstract: A method of generating and displaying an animation of an organization's employees allocated to one or more of a plurality of projects is disclosed. The method includes generating a series of organization maps of the organization showing the organization over a period of time. The series includes a historic organization map and a projected organization map. The organization maps include nodes representing individual employees. For each node in each organization map, the color of the node is set to a first color if the node's employee is allocated to a first project, a second color if the node's employee is allocated to a second project, and to a third color if the node's employee is allocated to both the first project and the second project. The series of organization maps is displayed on a color monitor as an animation. Other methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A replaceable unit for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for storing a quantity of toner. An insertion alignment guide is positioned on the housing. The insertion alignment guide has a magnet for detection by a magnetic sensor in the image forming device.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a mid-frame for supporting a back side of a sheet of media. A carrier system is configured to transport a carriage in a reciprocating manner with respect to the mid-frame. The carriage includes a bay. A perforation cartridge is configured to be received in the bay. The perforation cartridge contains a perforation forming mechanism. A controller is coupled to the perforation forming mechanism, the controller being configured to select at least one of a vertical perforation resolution and a horizontal perforation resolution of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for perforating a sheet of print media having a front side and a back side includes a printhead carriage for carrying a printhead. A perforator carriage carries a perforation forming mechanism. An isolation damper having elastic, vibration absorbing, characteristics couples the printhead carriage to the perforator carriage.
