A printing apparatus includes a printing material container 100 including a storage device 203, a plurality of storage device terminals, a first and a second individual mounting detection terminal DT1, DT2, a first and a second cartridge out detection terminal CO1, CO2; an individual mounting detection portion 330; a cartridge out detection portion 340; a storage portion 310; and a controller 350. In an energy-saving mode, the controller 350 sets the individual mounting detection portion 330 to a disabled state and sets the cartridge out detection portion 340 to an enabled state, and if the cartridge out detection portion 340 detects a cartridge out state, writes that detection result to the storage portion. |
