PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to independently display on an individual ink tank that respective ink tanks are surely mounted on their mounting apparatus by a constitution using a light path when the ink tanks are mounted in an inkjet recording apparatus. SOLUTION: When a mounting operation is performed, a control is performed so as to emit an LED 126 in advance. Under this condition, the mounting operation is performed, and when a positional relation between a latch lever 103 and a second locking part of a holder 121 is not completely engaged ((a) and (b)), a displaying part 108 is not turned on even though the LED 126 is emitting. On the contrary, under a condition ((c)) that the mounting is completed as shown in the figure, namely, both end faces of the second engaging part 105 of the ink tank and the second locking part of the holder come into contact with each other to make the engagement sure, the displaying part 108 is turned on. It is possible thereby for a user to judge that it is surely mounted at a right position on every ink tank 101. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
