摘要： An ink cartridge 111 holding a recording material used for printing therein has a sensor substitute module 170 to simulate operations of a cartridge having a built-in sensor. As a control circuit 222 of a printer 200 gives a sensor access instruction to the ink cartridge 111, the sensor substitute module 170 generates a specific signal and outputs the specific signal via an output module 178. The specified signal is equivalent to a signal that represents a sufficient level of remaining ink and is expected to be output from the built-in sensor of the cartridge. The ink cartridge 111 is thus applicable to both a printer designed for the use of a cartridge with a built-in sensor and a printer designed for the use of a cartridge without a built-in sensor. Namely the cartridge of the invention is compatible with the cartridge having the built-in sensor.

摘要： The ink unit of a printer has a memory circuit (memory element) (311-316) for non-contact communication. The memory circuit has a hold mode M2 in which memory access commands from the transmitter/receiver (30) are not received, and an active mode M4 in which memory access is permitted upon receipt of a memory access command. The memory circuit shifts into active mode M4 if the ID contained in the active mode command matches its own ID when an active mode command containing the cartridge ID is received from the transmitter/receiver (30) while in hold mode M2. The reception of an anti-collision start command from the transmitter/receiver while in hold mode M2 results in a shift to anti-collision mode M3 to check the ID.
