Abstract
An ink cartridge carrier for an ink ejection printing apparatus that provides for positively attaching a flexible cable between the control unit and the ink cartridge carrier. The ink cartridge carrier has an integral construction with slots provided on either side of the front frame section for feeding an end of the flexible cable therethrough and engaging the end of the flexible cable. When the flexible cable is so engaged, contacts found on the flexible cable are properly positioned to contact contacts on a mounted ink cartridge.
