摘要:Image forming apparatus includes a main body and a removably mountable processing cartridge containing at least one processing station useful in forming an image and having an opening therein and contained within the opening and extending therefrom a sheet-like member which provides a one time function to the processing cartridge or the main body of the image forming apparatus when it is withdrawn from the cartridge. In a new cartridge, the sheet-like member may be positioned in the cartridge between the imaging member and a cleaning blade and have on its surface a lubricant which upon withdrawal of the sheet-like member lubricates the cleaning nip between the cleaning blade and the imaging member. Alternatively, the sheet-like member may have a fuser release agent impregnated therein such that when a new cartridge is inserted in the main body of the image forming apparatus, it can be withdrawn from the cartridge by the fuser roll assembly thereby applying release agent to the fuser roll.
