1. An apparatus comprising:
a developing roller;
a photoreceptor, the developing roller to transfer a toner to the photoreceptor;
a housing that is moveable in an image forming device; and
an lever and gear assembly engaged with the housing, wherein the lever and gear assembly is actuatable between different states in response to control by the image forming device during a continuous print operation of the image forming device to selectively disrupt toner transfer, wherein a first state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a first position that disrupts a transfer of the toner to a intermediate transfer belt of the image forming device during the continuous print operation, and a second state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a second position that allows the transfer of the toner to the intermediate transfer belt.
