cartridge

Printer ink container

A cartridge is a container holding material ready to be fed into a device.

A gun cartridge contains propellant and usually a bullet, designed to be loaded and fired as a unit.

Ink cartridges slot into printers; game cartridges into consoles.

The word implies a standardized, replaceable unit: I need to buy new toner cartridges for the copier.
