    摘要: An inkjet recording apparatus to which a cartridge is attachable includes: a tank including a storage chamber and an outlet port; a recording portion including a damper chamber and a recording head; an ink passage; a pump configured to suck fluid in the damper chamber; a first switch; and a controller. After attachment of the cartridge, the controller is configured to perform an initial ink introduction process to supply the ink from the cartridge to the storage chamber. The initial ink introduction process includes: a first suction process to drive the pump for a first period of time in a state where the first switch is in a first state to allow ink in the storage chamber to be sucked toward the damper chamber; and after performing the first suction process, an open process to switch the first switch to a second state.

    摘要: A liquid ejection apparatus includes: a head; a first-liquid-passage member defining a first liquid passage as a portion of a liquid passage connecting between the head and a tank; a second-liquid-passage member, as another portion of the liquid passage, defining a second liquid passage and having a gas permeability less than the first-liquid-passage member; a purging device; and a controller configured to: obtain air-position information relating to a position of air having flowed into the liquid passage from a liquid inlet opening; and execute a liquid discharge processing in which the controller controls the purging device to execute a liquid purging operation such that an amount of the liquid discharged when the air position indicated by the air-position information is located in the second liquid passage is less than that of the liquid discharged when the air position is located in the first liquid passage.

    摘要: Aspects of a disclosure relates to a liquid discharge device enables previously disabled liquid discharge through a head after a cartridge including a first liquid chamber is replaced and before the liquid level in a second liquid chamber of a tank reaches a predetermined level or higher. Another aspects of the disclosure relates to a liquid discharge device that deactivates an alarm after a cartridge including a first liquid chamber is replaced and before the liquid level in a second liquid reaches a predetermined level or higher.

    摘要: A liquid discharge apparatus is configured to activate a first notification in a case where a liquid level of a tank is less than a threshold. In a case where a cartridge is installed after activating the first notification, a controller determines outflow amount Vcs of the liquid flowing into the tank based on the liquid amount of the installed cartridge, and controls a notification device based on the determined outflow amount Vcs.
