Patent number: 11198304Abstract: In an image-recording device, a mount body detachably holds a cartridge. The cartridge has a first chamber configured to store consumable therein. A tank is in communication with the cartridge, and the tank has a second chamber. Consumable in the first chamber is capable of moving into the second chamber. A controller determines whether a residual quantity of consumable stored in the first chamber of the cartridge held by the mount body is lower than or equal to a prescribed threshold. The controller expands, when a specific condition is satisfied, a maximum quantity of consumable up to which consumable is capable of being stored in the second chamber. The specific condition includes a first condition that the residual quantity of consumable stored in the first chamber is higher than the prescribed threshold, and a second condition that information notifying that the cartridge is to be replaced is received.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jun Morikawa, Sadaaki Miyazaki, Shinya Esaki, Kenta Horade
