Zusammenfassung: | To improve detection accuracy of storage of a waste ink tank in a case.SOLUTION: A waste ink mechanism 40 of a printer 10 comprises: a waste ink channel 42; a waste ink tank 43 in which waste ink is collected; a case 41 in which the waste ink tank 43 is stored; and a displacement member 44 displaced between a first position P11 and a second position P12 when the waste ink tank 43 is stored in the case 41. The displacement member 44 has an ink reception part 73 disposed at a position directly below an outlet 62 of the waste ink channel 42 at the first position P11, an abutment part 75 that abuts against the waste ink tank 43 before the ink reception part 73 when the displacement member 44 is moving between the first position P11 and the second position P12, and a detected part 74 displaced in position in accordance with displacement of the displacement member 44. A sensor 45 detects the position of the detected part 74.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】廃インクタンクがケースに収容の有無の検出精度を向上させる。【解決手段】プリンタ10の廃インク機構40は、廃インク流路42と、廃インクを収集する廃インクタンク43と、廃インクタンク43が収容されるケース41と、廃インクタンク43をケース41に収容するとき、第1の位置P11と第2の位置P12との間で変位する変位部材44を備える。変位部材44は、第1の位置P11のとき、廃インク流路42の流出口62の真下の位置に配置されるインク受け部73と、変位部材44が第1の位置P11と第2の位置P12の間を移動しているとき、インク受け部73よりも先に廃インクタンク43に当接する当接部75と、変位部材44の変位に応じて位置が変位する被検出部74を有する。センサ45は、被検出部74の位置を検出する。【選択図】図5 |
