PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of contact failure between a cartridge carrying a recording medium and an ink jet recorder.SOLUTION: A bottle body 802 is crushed to reduce the volume if ink or a solvent is sucked out. A bottle 800 has a neck part 810 and a mouth 812, and the neck part 810 is rigid. A ROM unit 900 (930) is recorded with not only the kind and serial number of the ink or the solvent but also the capacity of the bottle 800 and the residual quantity of the ink or the solvent. The ROM unit 900 (930) has first and second arms 908 and 910, and is idly mounted on the neck part 810 by those first and second arms 908 and 910. A ROM holder body 902 accommodating the recording medium is formed with a positioning hole 912, which cooperates with the positioning pin 604 of a reservoir 600 (700) to position the ROM holder body 902. |
