• BJ cartridge loading mechanism

The BJ cartridge is fixed mechanically onto the cartridge holder. At the

same time that it is fixed onto this holder, the BJ cartridge pressure con-

tacts the signal contact pad of the carriage ribbon cable to form an electri-

cal connection. By this connection, signals such as print signals are sent to

the BJ print head. The printer control section monitors the mounted state

of the BJ cartridge at all times, and judges that there is no cartridge if the

BJ cartridge head is not electrically connected with the signal contact pad

of the carriage ribbon cable for a certain period or more.
