Printer with a printing head for ejecting ink

A printer comprising:

• a printing head configured to eject ink;
• a housing that houses the printing head;
• a body cover configured to be shifted between a closed state of closing an opening formed in the housing and an open state of exposing the opening;
• a tank including an ink container configured to contain the ink to be supplied to the printing head, and an ink inlet port through which the ink can be injected into the ink container;
• and
• a tank cover configured to be shifted between a closed state of closing the ink inlet port and an open state of exposing the ink inlet port,
• wherein, when the body cover in the closed state is viewed in plan view in a posture in which the printing head is used, the body cover covers a portion of the tank cover, and the ink inlet port is located outside a region of the body cover, and
• the tank cover changes from the closed state to the open state, triggered by the body cover changing from the closed state to the open state,
• wherein the tank cover includes a cap member connected therewith, the cap member closes off the ink inlet port when the tank cover is in the closed state, and exposes the ink inlet port when the tank cover is in the open state.

• and
• a cap member configured to be attached to and detached from the ink inlet port,
• wherein the cap member is configured to be switchable between a close off state of closing off the ink inlet port in a state of being attached to the ink inlet port and an open state of exposing the ink inlet port in a state of being removed from the ink inlet port,
• when the body cover in the closed state is viewed in plan view in a posture in which the printing head is used, the body cover covers a portion of the tank cover, and the ink inlet port is located outside a region of the body cover, and
• the cap member changes from the close off state to the open state, triggered by the tank cover changing from the closed state to the open state.
