Abstract
An object is to prevent the occurrence of contact failure between a cartridge equipped with a recording medium and an ink jet recording apparatus. A bottle body is crushed to reduce the volume thereof when an ink or solvent is sucked out of the bottle body. A bottle has a neck and a mouth. The neck is rigid. The ROM unit records therein an ink or solvent type, a serial number, the capacity of the bottle, and the amount of remaining ink or solvent. The ROM unit has first and second arms, and freely movably attached to the neck by the first and second arms. A positioning hole is formed on a ROM holder body which houses therein a recording medium. The positioning hole positions the ROM holder body in cooperation with a positioning pin of a reservoir.
