1. A print material particles container, comprising:
a syringe body including an electrical interface at a side surface of the syringe body;
an interface at an end of the syringe body including an output at a distal surface of the syringe body;
a print material particles reservoir located in the syringe body; and
a volume adapting structure to adapt a volume of the print material particles reservoir to move print material particles out of the print material particles reservoir through the output;
wherein, in response to the volume adapting structure moving from a first position to a second position, a signal is transmitted by the electrical interface to indicate the print material particles have been dispensed from the print material particles reservoir,
wherein the print material particles container further includes a switch located between the syringe body and the print material particles reservoir, and
wherein in response to the volume adapting structure moving from the first position to the second position:
the switch changes from a first state to a second state; and
the signal is transmitted in response to the switch changing from the first state to the second state.
