Abstract
An inner-pressure-changing connecting portion that changes the inner pressure of an ink cartridge and a fitted portion to be fitted on a positioning mechanism provided on an ink-jet printer are disposed coaxially. In a configuration for supplying ink by applying pressure to a pressure chamber, high-accuracy positioning of the ink cartridge and the ink-jet printer can be achieved.
