Abstract

Consumable unit, machine and printer, which enable printing to be continuously performed over a long time by using a fuel battery, even in a place such as the inside of a train, where commercial power cannot be obtained. This printer with the built-in fuel battery for generating electric power by being supplied with liquid fuel is provided with an ink cartridge in which ink is housed, and records an image on a recording medium by ejecting the ink to the recording medium. The ink cartridge (10) houses the ink, and has a liquid fuel housing part for housing the liquid fuel and a water housing part for housing water. The printer is equipped with: the fuel battery (20) which is supplied with the liquid fuel and discharges the water; a fuel supply passage (21) for supplying a fuel pole with the liquid fuel which is housed in the liquid fuel housing part; and a water supply passage (24) for supplying the water housing part with the water which is discharged from an air pole.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device that incorporates a fuel cell that receives supply of liquid fuel to generate electricity, loads a consumable unit with consumables, receives consumables supplied from the consumable unit, and operates with the power of the fuel cell as the consumables are consumed. As examples of such equipment, a printer incorporating a fuel cell, containing an ink cartridge containing ink as consumables, and performing printing operations by receiving ink supplied from the ink cartridge, and a printer mounted on the above-mentioned equipment and supplying consumables to the equipment consumable unit. Background technique [0002] For a long time, various machines equipped with consumables and operated as the consumables are consumed have been developed and used in various fields. Here, an inkjet printer will be described as a representative of such various devices. [0003] In recent years, colorization has progressed rapi...
