Abstract

An ink cartridge includes a first signal blocking portion, a second signal blocking portion, and a third signal blocking portion. The first signal blocking portion is configured to either prevent a first signal from passing therethrough or to alter a path of the first signal when the first signal blocking portion receives the first signal, the second signal blocking portion is configured to either prevent a second signal from passing therethrough or to alter a path of the second signal when the second signal blocking portion receives the second signal, and the third signal blocking portion is configured to either prevent the second signal from passing therethrough or to alter a path of the second signal when the third signal blocking portion receives the second signal.
