ABSTRACT:
A replaceable ink container for use in an off-axis printing system. The printing system includes a printer portion responsive to electrical signals from the replaceable ink container for controlling printer parameters. The replaceable ink container comprises a plurality of electrical contacts with each of the plurality of electrical contacts electrically connected with a memory element. The memory element stores information for controlling printing system parameters. The replaceable ink container also includes a protruding guide feature disposed proximate the plurality of electrical contacts. The protruding guide feature is configured for engagement with a corresponding guide feature associated with the printing system. With proper insertion of the ink container into the printing system, the guide feature engages the corresponding guide feature to align electrical contacts associated with the printing system with the plurality of electrical contacts associated with the ink container. Electrical connection of the plurality of electrical contacts associated with the ink container with the electrical contacts associated with the printing system provides information for controlling printer parameters to the printer portion.
