A toner container includes a bag body, a coupling member, and a discharge member. The bag body includes a side portion and has, formed in the bag body, storage space configured to store toner and having flexibility. The coupling member is coupled with an opening of the bag body. The discharge member discharges the toner stored in the storage space. The side portion extends in a first direction from the opening to a bottom portion opposite the opening. Two-dimensional code is provided on an outer surface opposite an inner surface of the side portion that forms the storage space for toner. The two-dimensional code is located closer to the bottom portion than to the opening in the first direction.

There is used a toner accommodating container including: a bag-shaped accommodating portion having flexibility; and a toner accommodated in the accommodating portion, and including a silica particle. The toner has a value of Total Energy of 300 mJ or less in measurement of the Total Energy when a propeller type blade is caused to penetrate a surface of a powder layer of the toner manufacturing by applying a vertical load of 88 kPa in a measurement container in a powder flowability measurement device while the propeller type blade is being rotated at a peripheral speed of 100 mm/see of an outermost edge portion thereof.

An image forming apparatus includes a pump portion that is variable in volume, a feeding path portion including a connection opening communicating with the pump portion at one end and including a discharge opening at the other end, and a toner accommodating portion connected to a communicating opening that is an intermediate portion between the one end and the other end of the feeding path portion. The apparatus also includes a main assembly path porting including a pipe configured to feed toner upward from the discharge opening toward the receiving opening by air flow generated by the pump portion.

[Problem] To provide a form of a container for use with an image forming apparatus

[Solution] A container for use with an image forming apparatus and for accommodating a content of powder or a liquid, the container includes an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the content; an end portion including a discharging portion which includes a discharge opening for permitting discharge of the content to an outside of the container and a passage configured so that the content passes through the passage toward the discharge opening, and including a shutter configured to be movable relative to the discharging portion between a shielding position where the shutter shields the discharge opening and an open position where the shutter opens the discharge opening; and a cap mounted to the end portion so as to cover at least a part of the end portion and configured to be dismounted from the end portion by being rotated relative to the end portion.

A toner container is provided with a bag member made of flexible film material and a discharging member connected to the bag member and configured to discharge toner from an accommodating space to an outside. When a length from an opposing surface of the discharging member to an end portion in an opposite side of the opposing surface of the bag member in a first direction is defined as Xmax, and in a case in which a position X (0XXmax) using the opposing surface as a reference in the first direction is given, a length of the bag member on a plane perpendicular to the first direction in a second direction is defined as Y and a length of the bag member on the plane in a third direction is defined as Z, in a case in which Z is Z0 in X=0, Xmax>YZ in a range of 0XXmax, 0.8Z0Z1.2Z0 in the range of 0XXmax, and Y2Z in a range of 0X<0.5Xmax.
