PURPOSE:To attain to miniaturize an apparatus, by carrying out the connection of a flexible tube and an ink sub-tank below the ink sub-tank. CONSTITUTION:A flexible tube 9 and air vent tubes 14a-14c connected to a main ink tank from the vicinity of the lower end parts of ink sub-tanks 7a-7c are withdrawn and trained around within a horizonral plane of the lower parts of the ink sub-tanks 7a-7c. Therefore, the space occupied by plural tubes is limited to the lower space of the ink sub-tanks 7a-7c, and even if the change in the radius of curvatures of each tube is generated, the change in a height direction is not generated while the space occupied by the tubes can be reduced and the entanglement of tubes is prevented and the miniaturization of an apparatus is attained. |
