ABSTRACT:
An ink cartridge includes a movable member including a sliding member including a signal blocking end and a non-signal blocking end opposite the signal blocking end. The signal blocking end is configured to move in a first direction from a first position within an inner space of a translucent portion to a second position based on the amount of ink within an ink chamber. The movable member also includes a float portion operationally coupled to the sliding member. The float portion is disposed within the ink chamber and is configured to move in a second direction from a third position to a fourth position based on the amount of ink within the ink chamber. Moreover, a first distance between the float portion and the signal blocking end when the float portion is in the third position is greater than a second distance between the float portion and the signal blocking end when the float portion is in the fourth position.
