摘要:
A method of injecting a liquid into a liquid container detachably mounted on a liquid consuming device, the liquid container comprising: a liquid containing chamber (370) containing the liquid; a liquid supply port (50) connectable to the liquid consuming device; a liquid guide path for guiding the liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber to the liquid supply port; an air communicating path (150) communicating the liquid containing chamber with air and having a communicating passage portion (360) that is narrower than at least a part of other communicating paths in the air communicating path and can store some liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber by a meniscus; and a liquid residual quantity sensor (31) provided in the liquid guide path for outputting different signals in accordance with a residual amount of the liquid in the liquid containing portion, wherein the liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber can be blocked from the air by the liquid stored in the communicating passage portion, the method comprising: forming an injection port (601) on a more upstream side than an upstream end of the communicating passage portion (360); injecting a predetermined amount of liquid from the injection port; and sealing the injection port after injecting the liquid.

摘要:
An ink cartridge 1 is detachably connected to a head of a record apparatus and has a vessel main body 2 having an ink tank chamber 11 opened to the atmosphere in a state in which the head and the cartridge are connected and an ink end chamber (second ink storage chamber 16, etc.,) communicating with the ink tank chamber 11 and leading to the head. The vessel main body 2 is formed with a first opening 85 communicating with the ink tank chamber 11 and a second opening 86 communicating with the ink end chamber.
摘要:
An ink supply port (4) is sealed with a seal material (7) made up of two layers of at least a physical protective layer and an airtight hold layer and formed with slits in the physical protective layer. When an ink cartridge (1) is mounted, a tip (42a) of an ink introduction member (42) breaks the seal material (7) sealing the ink supply port (4) along the slits made in the seal member, and air is released to the atmosphere without raising pressure of a space of packing. Then, the ink introduction member penetrates the packing.
摘要:
An ink cartridge comprising a container body (3) housing an ink absorbing member (6') so as to absorb ink, a lid member (4), and a spacer (30) pressing the ink absorbing member (6') between the lid member (4) and the ink absorbing member (6'). It is possible to decrease the volume of the ink absorbing member (6') without changing structure in the vicinity of an ink supply port by using the same shape of a container body (3) and a lid member (4).
摘要:
A management system includes an electronic instrument that uses a managed article, and a management server. The electronic instrument is configured to acquire identification information from the managed article used by the electronic instrument with the identification information being read-only information, and to transmit information including the identification information to the management server. The management server is configured to reference registered database, in which information corresponding to the identification information of a plurality of managed articles is registered in advance, using the identification information transmitted from the electronic instrument to determine whether identification information database is required to be updated by the information transmitted from the electronic instrument, and to record at least a portion of the information transmitted from the electronic instrument in the identification information database as being associated with the identification information when it is determined that the identification information database is required to be updated.
