Abstract: A liquid discharging apparatus, having a head, a reservoir section, a valve, a switching assembly, and a controller, is provided. The reservoir section has a liquid reservoir chamber, an air chamber, an injection port, and an atmosphere communication path. The switching assembly switches states of the valve between an opening state, in which the valve opens the atmosphere communication path, and a closing state, in which the valve closes the atmosphere communication path. The controller is configured to control the valve through the switching assembly to close the atmosphere communication path, control the head to discharge the liquid after closing the atmosphere communication path, and control the valve through the switching assembly to close the atmosphere communication path before the liquid is injected through the injection port.

Abstract: A liquid supplying apparatus having a tank with a hole, a reservoir chamber to store a portion of liquid in the tank, and a flow path to store another portion of the liquid in the tank, is provided. The flow path connects the reservoir chamber and the hole. The flow path has a first funnel section to reduce a cross-sectional area of a part of the flow path. The first funnel section is located at a position equal to or higher than a surface of a predetermined maximum amount of the liquid storable in the tank in a usable posture. The first funnel section creates a meniscus with the liquid stored in the tank in an X1-rotated posture, in which the tank is rotated about a first axis by a first angle from the usable posture.
