Abstract

An imaging unit of an image forming apparatus is provided including a handle mechanism (100). The imaging unit includes at least one of a photoconductor unit and a developer unit (34) for developing a toner on the photoconductor unit. The handle mechanism is mounted on a frame portion (92) of the housing (90) and is configured to pivot between a collapsed position and an extended position. When in the collapsed position, the handle mechanism is substantially flush with a surface of the housing to accommodate a toner cartridge (35). When in the extended position, the handle mechanism automatically returns to the collapsed position by gravity when released from a user's grip.
