Summary:In an ink jet printers, ink is usually supplied to a printhead by a cartridge that is inserted into, and detachably mounted within, the printhead and a carriage. Rough operation during insertion or removal of the cartridge by a user, or play between the cartridge and the printhead or carriage, can cause a communication loss or a loss in print quality due to a poor fluidic connection. To secure the alignment and positioning of the cartridge within the carriage, an ink cartridge includes an insertion key located on a back edge portion of the ink cartridge, the insertion key being configured to provide a pivotal reference point for insertion of the ink cartridge into the carriage.
