There is provided a liquid cartridge including a casing which has front and lower surfaces, a storage chamber, and a supply port. A groove is arranged on the lower surface of the casing. The groove has left and right surfaces and an entrance port. At least one of the right and left surfaces has first and second surfaces. The first surface is directed in one orientation of the front-rear direction and in one orientation of the left-right direction. The second surface is positioned in the other orientation of the front-rear direction as compared with the first surface and is directed in the other orientation of the front-rear direction and in the one orientation of the left-right direction. The groove is configured such that a latch enters the groove.

Liquid cartridge and liquid supply system

A reading apparatus, having a document tray, an ejection tray, a conveyer path connecting the document tray and the ejection tray and having a curved section, a conveyer to convey an original document in a conveying orientation, a first reading sensor, and a second reading sensor, is provided. The first reading sensor is located upstream in the conveying orientation from the curved section in the conveyer path. The first reading sensor optically reads a first side of the original document from below. The second reading sensor is located upstream in the conveying orientation from the first reading sensor in the conveyer path. The second reading sensor optically reads a second side of the original document from above. The first side and the second side are sides of the original document that face upward and downward, respectively, in the state where an original document is placed on the document tray.

Reading apparatus with sensors located at different positions along a conveyer path

A reading apparatus, having a platen glass, a document cover, a conveyer, a reading sensor, a document supporting member, a pressing plate, and a linkage assembly, is provided. The document cover is movable between an open position and a closed position. The document supporting member is movable between a first position, where the document supporting member faces a reading surface of the reading sensor, and a second position, where the document supporting member is separated from the reading surface. The pressing plate is movable between a third position, where the pressing plate is attached to a lower side of the document cover, and a fourth position, where the pressing plate is removed from the lower side. The linkage assembly moves the document supporting member from the first position to the second position in conjunction with the pressing member moving from the third position to the fourth position.
