Printing apparatus
There is provided with a printing apparatus. An ink tank stores ink to be supplied to a printhead configured to eject ink. An ink supply path supplies ink from the ink tank to the printhead. A conveying unit conveys a print medium to the printhead. A cover member is arranged so as to be able to open and close with respect to the printing apparatus. A manual valve is arranged in a region through which the print medium conveyed by the conveying unit passes and can be switched between an opening state in which the ink tank and the printhead communicate and a closing state. An operating portion is arranged at a position which is exposed when the cover member is opened and can be operated to switch the manual valve.

4. The printing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a carriage configured to detachably carry the printhead and move reciprocally,
wherein the carriage moves to a position to obstruct the operation of the operating portion in a case where the first detection unit detects a state in which the cover member is open.
5. The printing apparatus according to claim 4 , comprising:
a notification unit configured to notify a user to operate the operating portion to set the manual valve in the closing state when the printhead requires replacement.
6. The printing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a second detection unit configured to detect the opening/closing state of the manual valve.
7. The printing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the carriage moves to a replacement position where the printhead is detachable in a case where the second detection unit detects the closing state of the manual valve.
8. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the ink supply path is formed by a tube.
9. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a preventing unit configured to prevent removal of the printhead in a case where the manual valve is in the opening state.
10. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the ink tank includes an injection port to which ink is injected.
11. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising the printhead.
12. A printing apparatus comprising:
a carriage configured to detachably carry a printhead configured to eject ink;
an ink tank configured to store ink to be supplied to the printhead;
an ink supply path configured to supply ink from the ink tank to the printhead;
a manual valve that is arranged on the ink supply path and can be switched between an opening state in which the ink supply path is opened and a closing state in which the ink supply path is closed; and
an operating portion that switches the manual valve by movement of the carriage.
13. The printing apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising the printhead.
14. A printing apparatus comprising:
a tank configured to store liquid to be supplied to a printhead configured to eject liquid;
a supply path configured to supply liquid from the tank to the printhead;
a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium;
a cover member arranged so as to be able to open and close with respect to the printing apparatus;
a valve arranged above a region through which the print medium conveyed by the conveying unit passes and switchable between an opening state in which the supply path is opened and a closing state in which the supply path is closed; and
an operating portion arranged at a position which is exposed in a state where the cover member is opened, and operatable the valve.
15. The printing apparatus according to claim 14 , further comprising:
a first detection unit configured to detect an opening/closing state of the cover member.
16. The printing apparatus according to claim 15 , further comprising:
a notification unit configured to notify a user not to operate the operating portion in a case where the first detection unit detects that the cover member is opened.
17. The printing apparatus according to claim 15 , further comprising:
a carriage configured to detachably carry the printhead and move reciprocally,
wherein the carriage moves to a position to obstruct the operation of the operating portion in a case where the first detection unit detects that the cover member is opened.
18. The printing apparatus according to claim 17 , comprising:
a notification unit configured to notify a user to operate the operating portion to set the valve in the closing state in a case where the printhead requires replacement.
19. The printing apparatus according to claim 17 , further comprising:
a second detection unit configured to detect the opening/closing state of the valve.
20. The printing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the carriage moves to a replacement position where the printhead is detachable in a case where the second detection unit detects the closing state of the valve.
