Abstract: A control unit of a liquid consumption apparatus performs determination processing that determines whether or not each of a first housing container and a second housing container is an unsuitable container that does not satisfy a use condition, performs switching decision that decides switching of a supply source that supplies a liquid composition to a liquid consumption unit to the second housing container when the first housing container is determined to be the unsuitable container while the liquid composition is being supplied from the first housing container to the liquid consumption unit, and continues supply of the liquid composition from the first housing container to the liquid consumption unit regardless of whether or not the second housing container is the unsuitable container until when the switching decision is performed while the liquid composition is being supplied from the first housing container to the liquid consumption unit.

Abstract: A liquid container has: a liquid storage section that stores a liquid; a surrounding wall that envelops the liquid storage section; a liquid supply opening formed in the surrounding wall, the liquid supply opening enabling the liquid to be supplied from the liquid storage section to the liquid introducing section; a first storage device that can be electrically coupled to the holder-side terminal through a first contact section; and a second storage device that can be electrically couple to the holder-side terminal through a second contact section. Even when the liquid container is rotated by 180 degrees around the central axis of the liquid supply opening and is mounted in the holder, either of the first storage device and second storage device is coupled to the holder-side terminal. Information about the amount of the liquid is stored in both the first storage device and the second storage device.

Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus includes a liquid storage container including a memory, a liquid feeding mechanism that feeds out liquid to the print head, and a second controller. A first liquid consumption amount is a consumption amount of liquid consumed in a non-printing operation in which liquid is not discharged from the print head to a recording medium, and a second liquid consumption amount is a consumption amount of liquid consumed in a printing operation in which liquid is discharged from the print head to the recording medium. The second controller calculates the second liquid consumption amount based on a liquid feeding amount of liquid fed out from the liquid feeding mechanism in a printing operation, stores the second liquid consumption amount in the memory, receives the first liquid consumption amount from the first controller, and stores the first liquid consumption amount in the memory.

Abstract: A printer has a recording head, a relay container from which ink is supplied to the recording head, and to which the ink is supplied from a terminal container, a pressurizing pump and a depressurizing pump for supplying the ink from the terminal container to the relay container, and a control unit. The control unit calculates an estimated consumption amount of the relay container based on the amount of the ink supplied from the relay container to the recording head, and consumed and the amount of the ink supplied from the terminal container to the relay container, and calculates the amount of the ink supplied from the terminal container to the relay container using the minimum value of tolerance of a supply amount of the depressurizing pump.
