<p>A connecting structure for a head holder and ink cartridge assures proper positioning of the cartridge and avoids damaging ink supply components. The ink cartridge defines a protrusion distance for a grip section of a cartridge, which protrudes outward from the rear surface of the ink container. The protrusion distance is larger than a protrusion distance of an ink supply member of a head holder, which protrudes from the inner surface of the front wall. Also, the height from a surface of a bottom wall in the head holder to the bottom edge of the grip section is larger than a height from a surface of the bottom wall to a top edge of the ink supply member. The inner wall surface of a pair of mutually opposite side walls is formed, integrally continuing from the opening of the ink container in each cartridge. Also, the wall thickness of the upper section is smaller than that of the upper section. The width of the upper section is larger than the width of the lower section. Thus, each cartridge can only is mounted in a cartridge mounting section provided between partition walls, which are formed on the bottom plate of the head holder through the lower section of the ink container. <IMAGE></p> |
