Abstract
A liquid ejection device regulates discharge of liquid from a liquid ejection head after a remaining amount detection section detects that remaining amount of liquid contained in a liquid container falls below a first threshold in a case where instruction related to disposal is not input by an input section, and allows discharge of the liquid from the liquid discharge head after the remaining amount detection section detects that the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the liquid container falls below the first threshold in a case where the instruction regarding disposal is input by the input section.
Claims9
A liquid ejection device comprising:
- a liquid ejection head configured to eject liquid contained in a liquid container;
- a remaining amount detection section configured to detect the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the liquid container;
- an input section configured to input a predetermined instruction;
- and
- a control section configured to perform control based on the instruction input by the input section, wherein
- when an instruction related to disposal is not input by the input section, the control section regulates discharge of the liquid from the liquid ejection head after the remaining amount detection section detects that the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the liquid container falls below a first threshold and
- when the instruction related to disposal is input by the input section, the control section allows discharge of the liquid from the liquid ejection head after the remaining amount detection section detects that the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the liquid container falls below the first threshold.
