Claim 0:
1. Memory provided in a liquid storage container attached to a printing apparatus, the memory comprising:
a storage section in which ink amount information about an amount of ink stored in the liquid storage container and threshold information about a threshold of the amount of the ink are stored; and
a processing section that performs processing based on information received from the printing apparatus and information stored in the storage section, wherein
when receiving, from the printing apparatus, detection information indicating that the liquid storage container is in an unusable state, the processing section performs comparing processing of comparing the ink amount information with the threshold information,
when a result of the comparing processing satisfies a predetermined writing condition, the processing section writes the detection information to the storage section, and
when the result of the comparing processing does not satisfy the writing condition, the processing section considers that the detection information is erroneous and consequently does not write the detection information to the storage section.
