ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer casing which reduces the volume and thickness of a used ink tank by fully utilizing the inherent ink absorbing capability of the ink absorbing substance. A used ink containing room, defined by side walls, is formed on the bottom surface of the casing. The used ink containing room is divided into a plural number of segmental regions by partitioning plates. Individual segments of ink absorbing substance made of a porous material are placed in the segmental regions, respectively. If the casing is tilted, the water heads of the segments of ink absorbing substance are low as a whole when viewed in the vertical direction since the segments of ink absorbing substance are isolated from one another by the partitioning plates. The ink absorbing substance may also be formed as a single member, and the ink led to a central part of the used ink containing room.
