The liquid containing chamber is fixed such that the air introduction port is located at a bottom portion of the liquid containing chamber. The volume of the communication path is smaller than the volume of the air chamber. The uppermost portion of the communication path is located above the uppermost portion of the liquid containing chamber.

Abstract: A liquid supply device includes a liquid container that includes a liquid containing chamber, which is capable of containing liquid, and a liquid inlet, which allows the liquid containing chamber to be filled with liquid. An external member covers at least a portion of the liquid container excluding a portion where the liquid inlet is located from an outer side. A seal member seals a gap between the external member and the liquid inlet. The liquid supply device is configured to allow the liquid to be supplied from the liquid container to a printing unit that performs printing on a medium using the liquid.

Abstract: A liquid supplying apparatus, configured to supply a liquid to a liquid ejecting section that is configured to eject the liquid, includes a tank configured to contain the liquid, the tank including a liquid containing section, and a container section connected to the tank. The container section is exposed to air through the tank, and the container section is connected to the liquid containing section of the tank.

Abstract: A printing device includes a printing unit that performs printing on a medium using liquid, a liquid container that includes a liquid containing chamber capable of containing the liquid supplied to the printing unit, and a liquid receiving portion that includes an inner end opening, which opens in the liquid containing chamber, and an outer end opening, which is located at an opposite side of the inner end opening, the liquid containing chamber is able to receive the liquid through the liquid receiving portion.
