FIELD: printing.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an adapter for an inkjet printer and the corresponding cartridge with ink. The adapter comprises a reservoir for storing ink and a microchip installed on the adapter. The contact surfaces of the microchip and the printer have information contact which is electrically connected to the printer, and two contacts of detection. On the surface opposite to the back part of the microchip on which two contacts of detection are located, a proximity switch is mounted. The proximity switch is connected electrically respectively to two contacts of detection. The proximity switch is switched by the contactless switching mechanism mounted in the cartridge with ink, unclosing at least once when installing the cartridge with ink in the printer, and then it is not switched by the contactless switching mechanism and does not shift to the state of closure. When installing the cartridge with ink in the printer adapter it uncloses at least once. When the cartridge with ink is removed from the adapter which is not removed from the printer, the microchip is disconnected from the printer.
EFFECT: elimination of the necessity of removal of the adapter from the printer when reinstalling the cartridge with ink into the adapter.
