Abstract:
An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a tank having an ink chamber and formed with an inlet; a recording head; a display configured to display a screen; and a controller configured to control the recording head and the display. The recording head is configured to eject the ink stored in the ink chamber to record an image on a sheet. The controller is configured to: execute a first determination process to determine whether a user is near the inkjet recording apparatus; and execute, after determination in the first determination process that the user is near the inkjet recording apparatus, a notification process to control the display to display a notification screen when the quantity of ink stored in the ink chamber is not less than a residual ink threshold. The notification screen prompts the user to check the quantity of ink stored in the ink chamber.
