Abstract
An ink jet printer in which an ink cartridge is used. The cartridge includes an ink tank and a head base plate which has an ink jet head including a plurality of ink discharging nozzles. A carriage for mounting an ink cartridge thereon has at least three projections for individually contacting with at least three portions of the head base plate. The head base plate is pressed against the projections to fix the ink cartridge to the carriage thereby to position ink discharging nozzles of the ink jet head accurately at predetermined positions with respect to a recording medium so that ink may be jetted in a predetermined direction with certainty from the ink jet head to the recording medium.
