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.

摘要:
A liquid container detachably mountable to a mounting portion of an ink jet recording apparatus in a slot-like mounting configuration where the liquid container is supported between a pair of engaging portions that respectively engage with a corresponding pair of locking portions on the mounting portion of the recording apparatus. The liquid container is supported in an upright configuration and includes a display portion on an upper side thereof, and a light emitting portion which emits light for display by the display portion. Because the display portion is disposed on an upper side, a user can confirm the display despite the mounting arrangement of the liquid container in the recording apparatus.
