Abstract:
A liquid discharge device includes a case receiving a cartridge having a first liquid chamber, a tank having a second liquid chamber, a head, a liquid level sensor, an alarm and a controller configured to: receive a first signal or a second signal when a position of a liquid level in the second liquid chamber is equal to or higher than or lower than a predetermined position; operate the alarm when receiving the second signal after the first signal; cancel the operation of the alarm based on determining of installation of the cartridge; and operate the alarm based on determining that a first elapsed time from a time when determining the installation of the cartridge reaches a predetermined time and the second signal is received from the liquid level sensor without receiving the first signal.
