Abstract

An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a positioning device for postioning a recording head on a carriage and an electrical connecting device for establishing electrical connection between the recording head and a main body portion. The positioning device and the electrical connecting device are provided on the carriage independently of each other. Therefore, the recording head and an ink tank can be certainly and simply installed on the recording apparatus. Also, an information processing system employs such recording apparatus to output input information, such as characters, image or so forth on a recording medium.
