Abstract:
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a controller configured to: control a head to discharge liquid in accordance with a discharge instruction; update a first count value to a value corresponding to an amount of liquid instructed to be discharged by the discharge instruction after a cartridge is mounted to a cartridge holder in a direction of approximating to a threshold value A; receive a first signal from a sensor; receive a second signal from the sensor; and when the first count value upon the receiving of the second signal reaches a threshold value α, operate a notification device in response to an updated first count value updated after the receiving of the second signal reaching the threshold value A. The threshold value A is more distant from an initial value of the first count value than the threshold value α.

Claim (Index 12):
A liquid discharge apparatus comprising:\n a tank configured to receive liquid injected from an outside, the tank comprising a liquid chamber configured to retain the injected liquid; a remaining amount sensor; a head communicating with the liquid chamber of the tank; a notification device; and a controller configured to:\n control the head to discharge the liquid in accordance with a discharge instruction to discharge the liquid; \n update a first count value to a value corresponding to an amount of liquid instructed to be discharged by the discharge instruction after the liquid is injected into the liquid chamber of the tank, the first count value being updated in a direction of approximating to a threshold value A; \n receive a first signal from the remaining amount sensor, the first signal being output by the remaining amount sensor in a case where a liquid level in the liquid chamber of the tank is a detection position or higher; \n receive a second signal from the remaining amount sensor after the receiving of the first signal, the second signal being output by the remaining amount sensor in a case where the liquid level in the liquid chamber of the tank is lower than the detection position; and \n in a case where the first count value upon the receiving of the second signal reaches a threshold value \u03b1, control the notification device to perform notification in response to an updated first count value updated after the receiving of the second signal reaching the threshold value A, \n wherein the threshold value A is more distant from an initial value of the first count value than the threshold value \u03b1.
