A replaceable ink cartridge can be inserted into and removed from a bubble jet printer receptacle for removably mounting the cartridge. The cartridge when mounted will cooperate with a hollow needle for supplying liquid ink to a print head and a pipe for removing waste ink from the head. The cartridge includes a container, a liquid ink reservoir and an absorber for waste liquid ink in the container, an outlet and an opening on the front wall of the container, and a label secured to the top wall of the container. The label contains a surface wiring resistance pattern including contact portions which are spaced apart and have an electric connection between them. When the container is mounted in the receptacle, the needle enters the outlet to connect the ink reservoir to the head, and the absorber enters a waste ink pipe opening. The contact portions then make sliding contact with spaced-apart electric terminals in the printer, connecting the terminals and thereby activating a control circuit in the printer.

A liquid container detachably mountable to a mounting portion of an ink jet recording apparatus, and which includes a liquid chamber, a light emitter, an electrical contact which receives a signal for light emission by the light emitter, and a display portion which directs emitted light from the light emitter toward an outside of the liquid container. A latch lever is elastically deformable and has a latching portion spaced from a first side of the liquid container, the first side being between the latching portion and the liquid chamber. A liquid supply port is disposed at a second side of the liquid container. The electrical contact is disposed at a position which is between the latching portion and the liquid supply port as seen facing both of the first and second sides, and the display portion is disposed adjacent to an upper portion, in use, of the first side.

摘要:
An ink jet recording head includes three sets of nozzle arrays each having a large nozzle array including a first ejection outlet group and an adjacent small nozzle array including a second ejection outlet group. The ejection outlets of the second ejection outlet group have smaller diameters than those of the first ejection outlet group. In nozzle arrays constituted by two adjacent ones of the three nozzle array sets, a large nozzle array, a small nozzle array, a small nozzle array, and a large nozzle array are arranged in the order named, in the main scanning direction. One of the two adjacent nozzle array sets ejects cyan ink, the other one of the two adjacent nozzle array sets ejects magenta ink, and a nozzle array set other than the two adjacent nozzle array sets ejects yellow ink.
