Abstract
An indentation in a waste bin assembly of a xerographic process cartridge allows the cartridge to physically fit into various types of printing machines. The location and size of this indentation will vary depending on the type of printing machine. An apparatus and method is provided to allow modification of various types of printer cartridges, that after modification, the altered cartridges may be used in additional printing machines that were limited initially by the original shape of the waste bin assembly.
