プ１９の制御を行ない、スイッチ１６の状態を常に監視
しており、後述するような制御動作を行なう。On the other hand, a protrusion 3a is formed on the side surface of the ink cartridge 3 over a predetermined length along the longitudinal direction of the ink cartridge. This protrusion 3a is in a position where it is fitted into the groove 15a when the ink cartridge 3 is correctly fitted into the opening 15. On the other hand, FIG. 4 shows a control circuit applied to this embodiment. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 17 indicates a CPU (central processing unit), which controls the recording section 18 and the warning lamp 19, constantly monitors the state of the switch 16, and performs control operations as will be described later.
次に本実施例に示したインクカートリッジの装着動作に
ついて第５図に示すフローチャート図と共に説明する。Next, the mounting operation of the ink cartridge shown in this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

ように突条３ａがスイッチ１６に接し、ＯＮとしている
。スイッチ１６がＯＮとなった場合にはステップＳ３に
進み、記録スタンバイの状態となる。When it is ON, it means that the protrusion 3a is fitted into the groove 15a, which indicates that the ink cartridge 3 is fitted in the correct posture. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the protrusion 3a is in contact with the switch 16, turning it on. When the switch 16 is turned on, the process advances to step S3, and the recording standby state is entered.
一方、インクカートリッジ３の突条３ａと溝１５ａとが
嵌合しない状態でインクカートリッジ３が開口部１５中
に嵌合された時にはスイッチ１６はＯＮとならない。On the other hand, when the ink cartridge 3 is fitted into the opening 15 in a state where the protrusion 3a of the ink cartridge 3 and the groove 15a do not fit, the switch 16 is not turned on.

告ランプを消灯し、ステップＳ３に進む。That is, since the ink cartridge 3 is not installed correctly, at this time, steps S2 to S4 are performed.
Proceed to turn on the warning lamp 19. And step S
In step S5, it is determined whether the ink cartridge and the cartridge 3 have been correctly reinstalled, that is, whether the switch 16 has been turned on. If it has been turned on, the warning lamp is turned off in step S6, and the warning lamp is turned off in step S3. Proceed to.
」−述したようにしてインクカートリッジ３が正しく装
着できるようになり、記録装置の故障等のまちがった判
断が生じることはない。- As described above, the ink cartridge 3 can be installed correctly, and there will be no erroneous judgments such as malfunction of the recording device.
なお、突条３ａ及び溝１５ａを設ける位置は非対称位置
が望ましく、このような位置を選べばインクカートリッ
ジを上下逆に挿入した場合にも確実に誤装着であること
を判定できる。Note that it is desirable that the protrusions 3a and the grooves 15a be provided at asymmetric positions, and if such positions are selected, even if the ink cartridge is inserted upside down, it can be determined that the ink cartridge has been installed incorrectly.
また、インクカートリッジから突出する部分は必ずしも
突条ではなく、突起だけである場合でもよく、この突起
に応じた形状の溝を設ければよい。Further, the portion protruding from the ink cartridge is not necessarily a protrusion, but may be only a protrusion, and a groove having a shape corresponding to the protrusion may be provided.
また、突出部を設ける場所はインクカートリッジの側面
ばかりではなく、」二面または、底面等、任意に選択す
ることができる。Further, the location where the protruding portion is provided is not limited to the side surface of the ink cartridge, but may be arbitrarily selected such as the two sides or the bottom surface.
