1. A cartridge accommodating apparatus comprising:
a cartridge accommodating section configured to accommodate a cartridge which includes a liquid accommodating section configured to accommodate liquid, a liquid lead-out channel communicated with the liquid accommodating section and configured to lead the liquid to outside of the liquid accommodating section, a first blocking member configured to block a first portion of the liquid lead-out channel, and a second blocking member configured to block a second portion, of the liquid lead-out channel, between the first portion of the liquid lead-out channel and the liquid accommodating section; a hollow tube configured to introduce the liquid, in the liquid lead-out channel of the cartridge, into inside of the hollow tube; a moving mechanism configured to move the hollow tube between a first position at which a tip portion of the hollow tube is located outside the liquid lead-out channel of the cartridge accommodated in the cartridge accommodating section and a second position at which the tip portion of the hollow tube has entered inside the liquid lead-out channel of the cartridge and the hollow tube is communicated with the liquid accommodating section of the cartridge; a driving source; a driving force transmitting mechanism configured to transmit driving force of the driving source to the moving mechanism; and a driving source controller configured to control driving speed of the driving source, wherein the driving source controller is configured to:
drive the driving source at a first driving speed, after causing the hollow tube to move from the first position and until judging that the tip portion of the hollow tube has reached a first contact position at which the tip portion of the hollow tube makes contact with the first blocking member;drive the driving source at a second driving speed which is faster than the first driving speed, after judging that the tip portion of the hollow tube has reached the first contact position and until judging that the tip portion of the hollow tube has reached a release position at which the tip portion of the hollow tube releases the first blocking member; anddrive the driving source at a third speed, after judging that the tip portion of the hollow tube has reached a second contact position at which the tip portion of the hollow tube makes contact with the second blocking member. |
