Abstract
A print material storage container has: a substrate on which an electric circuit having terminals is provided; a fixing portion on which the substrate can be mounted by re-fixing; and a fixing member that fixes the fixing portion and a non-terminal portion, which is formed by excluding the terminals from the substrate, to each other. The non-terminal portion includes a re-fixed portion, which can be re-fixed to the fixing portion by the fixing member.

A print material storage container comprising:
- a substrate on which an electric circuit having a terminal is provided, the substrate having a through hole;
- a fixing portion configured so that the substrate is mounted on the fixing portion by re-fixing, the fixing portion having an initial fixing member formed thereon that, when the substrate is initially mounted on the fixing portion, the initial fixing member penetrates the through hole from a first surface of the substrate that faces the fixing portion toward a second surface of the substrate that faces away from the fixing portion;
- and
- a fixing member configured to fix a non-terminal portion without the terminal of the substrate to the fixing portion, the fixing member being positioned on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the non-terminal portion includes a re-fixed portion configured to be re-fixed to the fixing portion by the fixing member.
