Patent ID: 8485622

Claim:
A program for controlling operations of a printing apparatus by using a computer, the printing apparatus having an ink tank capable of being refilled with ink from an external portion and an ejection head of ejecting ink supplied from the ink tank, the printing apparatus having a function of stopping ink ejection from the ejection head if a count value of an ink amount supplied from the ink tank to the ejection head reaches a predetermined limit value, the program causing the computer to realize: a first function of acquiring, from the printing apparatus, information capable of at least determining whether or not the count value of the ink amount reaches the limit value; a second function of receiving an input of initialization data which are data for initializing the count value of the ink amount in the case where the count value of the ink amount reaches the limit value; and a third function of determining whether or not the input initialization data are appropriate, initializing the count value of the ink amount in the printing apparatus if the initialization data are determined to be appropriate, and storing the initialization data which are determined to be appropriate as inappropriate initialization data.
