Abstract
An ink cartridge identifying apparatus of a printer which is capable of selectively mounting two or more kinds of ink cartridges therein for printing includes an identifying unit, a sensing unit, and a micro processing unit. The identifying unit is prepared on a body of the ink cartridge. The sensing unit is prepared in a carriage mounted with the ink cartridge therein so as to sense the identifying unit. The micro processing unit identifies what kind of cartridge the ink cartridge is, by using signals detected from the sensing unit. In this structure, it is possible to identify the kind of the ink cartridge without adding electrical contact nodes to a flexible printed circuit of the ink cartridge.
