Abstract:
An image recording apparatus includes a tank, a cap, a cap detector, a notification device, and a controller. The tank is configured to store ink therein. The tank is formed with a filling port for filling ink. The cap is configured to be attached to the filling port so as to close the filling port. The cap detector is configured to detect whether the cap is attached to the filling port. The notification device is configured to output particular information. The controller is configured to control the notification device to output a warning, in response to determining based on a detection signal of the cap detector that a particular period or longer has elapsed in a state where the cap is detached from the filling port.
