Abstract

An inkjet printhead includes a support supporting a nozzle-formed member and including a pair of projections. One of the projections includes first and second surfaces, and the other of the projections includes a contact surface. The first and second surfaces and the contact surface each include a touch part for positioning of the inkjet printhead to a first position on a frame. A positioning member including a touch surface is attached to one of the projections in such a way that (i) the first surface and the touch surface, (ii) the second surface and the touch surface, or (iii) two touch surfaces of the positioning member allow the inkjet printhead to be positioned at a position different from the first position when the inkjet printhead is at a predetermined mounting position on the frame.
