    摘要: The printer 10 executes an ink end detection process A while a print job is underway and an ink end detection process B when a print job has been completed. In the ink end detection process A, the printer 10 applies a first drive signal to detect that the amount of ink housed in the ink cartridge CA is equal to or less than a prescribed amount. In the ink end detection process B, the printer 10 applies a second drive signal to detect that the amount of ink housed in the ink cartridge CA exceeds the prescribed amount.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the invention, a remanufacturing method of a liquid container forms an inlet in a certain area, for example, a buffer chamber, other than a specific section including liquid reservoirs and flow paths adjoining to and directly communicating with a bubble trap flow path in the liquid container. In the state of closing a liquid feeder and opening an air open structure, the remanufacturing method injects a liquid through the inlet to fill a space in the upstream of the inlet with the liquid. In the state of opening the liquid feeder and closing the air open structure, the remanufacturing method injects the liquid through the inlet to fill a space in the downstream of the inlet with the liquid. The remanufacturing process seals the inlet after completion of the injection of the liquid. This arrangement enables the liquid to be refilled into the liquid container without damaging the functions of the liquid container.

    摘要: A liquid storage container prevents sucking of air bubbles into a liquid guide path, even when the amount of liquid remaining in the liquid storage chamber is reduced. The amount of liquid discarded, without being used, is reduced. A liquid storage container includes liquid storage chambers from which liquid is guided to a liquid-supplying unit through a liquid guide path and a liquid remaining-amount sensor for detecting the presence/absence of the liquid on the basis of variation in residual vibration that occurs when air bubbles enter the liquid guide path. The liquid storage chambers have concavities in the bottom walls thereof. Liquid outlets that communicate with the liquid guide path are formed at the bottom of the concavities, respectively. Therefore, air layers in the liquid storage chambers are prevented from coming into contact with the liquid outlets, respectively, before the remaining liquid does.

    摘要: A liquid container includes a container body formed with a liquid supply port, and a container-side fixing structure which releasably regulates movement of the liquid container in an outward pulling direction in cooperation with apparatus-side fixing structure provided for the container mounting part in a state where the liquid container is mounted onto the container mounting part. The container-side fixing structure has a guide groove into which a fixing pin of the apparatus-side fixing structure can be inserted, and which guides the fixing pin in mounting and removal operations of the liquid container to and from the container mounting part. The guide groove includes a fixing part which engages the fixing pin to regulate the movement of the liquid container in the pulling direction in the state where the liquid container is mounted to the container mounting part. A slanted entrance surface is located at an entrance part of the guide groove, which slanted entrance surface slants so that a groove depth decreases in the movement direction of the fixing pin that relatively moves in association with an inserting operation of the liquid container into the container mounting part.
