ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer comprises an ink jet print head with detachable ink cartridges, a carriage holding the print head, a controller for controlling their actions, and an outer case having an opening formed for detachment of the ink cartridge and mounting of a new ink cartridge. To the outer case, a manual operation key and an opening/closing cover for closing the opening are attached. The opening and closing of the opening/closing cover are detected by a sensor. The manual operation key has two action modes. When the opening/closing cover is opened, the controller switches the action modes from a sheet feed mode to a mode for moving the carriage to a region opposed to the opening for detachment of the ink cartridge and mounting of a new ink cartridge. The number of operation keys is decreased, and key operation becomes easy. A display of an action is made on the outer case and the opening/closing cover so that each action can be known whether the opening/closing cover is open or closed.
