Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3208094A1] A determining system includes a cartridge-mounting portion, a photosensor, and a controller. A printing fluid cartridge is mountable in the cartridge-mounting portion. The printing fluid cartridge includes a storage storing type information indicating a type of the printing fluid cartridge and an identification portion having a unique light transmission status differing depending on the type of the printing fluid cartridge. The photosensor disposed at the cartridge-mounting portion. The photosensor is configured to detect the unique light transmission status of the identification portion and output a signal differing depending on the detected unique light transmission status. The controller is configured to perform: (a) reading the type information from the storage of the printing fluid cartridge that is in a mounted state; and (b) determining the type of the printing fluid cartridge on the basis of both the read type information and the signal outputted from the photosensor.
