Abstract: A waste liquid container is mounted on a mounting portion including a discharging portion discharging waste liquid and an apparatus-side terminal portion in accordance with movement in a mounting direction. The waste liquid container includes a waste liquid containing chamber which is capable of containing the waste liquid, a connection opening which is opened in the mounting direction in a shape of being connectable to the discharging portion, and a container-side terminal portion which is electrically connected to the apparatus-side terminal portion at the time of being mounted on the mounting portion. In a state of being mounted on the mounting portion, the container-side terminal portion is disposed lower than the connection opening in a posture of being inclined with respect to the mounting direction.

Abstract: An interface module 61 relays control signal communication between a main CPU 621 and a light source control CPU 651 and between the main CPU 621 and a camera head CPU 242. The interface module 61 includes an FPGA 610 having CPU I/Fs 611 to 613 that correspond to communication schemes of CPUs 621, 651, and 242, respectively, and first and second storage units 615 (617) and 616 (618). The FPGA 610 relays a control signal between the main CPU 621 and the light source control CPU 651 and between the main CPU 621 and the camera head CPU 242, while temporarily storing the control signal in the first and the second storage units 615 (617) and 616 (618). Moreover, a first communication timing and second and third communication timings are set at timings shifted from one another.

Abstract: Accuracy in determination of the attaching direction of an elongated cartridge is improved. A cartridge 4A according to this embodiment to be attached to a printer includes an ink supply port 414 that supplies ink to the printer, a misinsertion prevention upper face projection portion 140 that engages with misinsertion prevention portions 671 of a misinsertion prevention plate 160 in a cartridge attachment portion 6, and restriction front upper face projection portions 430 that abut against a first guide rail 650 and a first guide rail 651 and restrict a tilt of the cartridge in an intersecting direction that intersects the attaching direction at the time of attachment. These restriction front upper face projection portions 430 are arranged between a leading end side in the attaching direction CS and the misinsertion prevention upper face projection portion 140.

Abstract: A label (1) of this invention includes an optical function layer (13) configured to pass light of a certain wavelength, a light absorption layer (15) facing the optical function layer (13) and configured to absorb the light of the wavelength, and a light scattering layer (12) intervening between the optical function layer (13) and the light absorption layer (15) and including hollow bodies configured to scatter the light of the wavelength. The light scattering layer (12) is configured to raise a transmittance at the wavelength upon receiving external heat.

Abstract: A cartridge comprises a liquid container that is at least partly made of a flexible material and is configured to contain a liquid therein; a recess that is configured to be open toward a mounting direction of the cartridge to a liquid ejection apparatus; and a fluid receiving portion that is placed inside of the recess and is configured to receive supply of a pressurized fluid.

Abstract: An object is to provide a cartridge that is configured to be readily mountable and stir a liquid contained in the cartridge. A cartridge includes an ink pack, a first air bag and a casing provided to place the ink pack and the first air bag therein. The casing has an ink supply port, an air flow port for first air bag and an air flow port for casing that are provided on a front face of the casing in a mounting direction so that this configuration enables the cartridge to be readily mounted to the inkjet printer. The pressurized air is introduced through the air flow port for first air bag into the first air bag. This expands the first air bag to press the ink pack and thereby stir ink I contained in the ink pack.

Abstract: A printing material receptacle fitted on a folder of a printing apparatus that includes a writing unit. The printing material receptacle includes a housing to accommodate ink; a first recording portion formed on a face of the housing and for recording updatable first information relating to the printing material receptacle to be updatable and visible using a non-electronic method, the face being exposed from the folder when the printing material receptacle is fitted on the folder; and a second recording portion formed on the face of the housing and for recording updatable second information relating to the printing material receptacle to be updatable, invisible, and mechanically readable using a non-electronic method. The first and second recording portions are configured to be written with the first and second information respectively by the writing unit.

Abstract: A cartridge 1 is provided with an ink pack 9, an air bag 10 capable of abutting the ink pack 9, and a pressurizing chamber 11 that stores the ink pack 9 and the air bag 10. In the case where the amount of ink in the ink pack 9 decreases, pressurized air is introduced into the air bag 10, the ink pack 9 is pressed against the air bag 10, and thereby the internal pressure of the ink pack 9 is increased. After that, pressurized air is introduced into the pressurizing chamber 11 so as to increase the internal pressure of the pressurizing chamber 11 and pressurize the ink pack 9 from outside. Accordingly, the ink in the ink pack 9 is supplied from an ink supply port 12 to the inkjet printer 2.
