Abstract
A plurality of sheets of photofixed-recording medium are stacked on top of each other and stored in a cartridge. An EEPROM is attached to the cartridge. The EEPROM is connecting to a memory connection section. A central processing unit is connected to the memory connecting section. The central processing unit can write information to the EEPROM of the cartridge or read information therefrom. Access to EEPROM can be correctly obtained only when the cartridge is properly inserted into a printing apparatus.
