PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid consumption device which can be used without stopping even though a careful attention is not given to the timing of liquid replenishment and the amount of replenishment, and does not generate empty jetting.SOLUTION: A printer 110 to which an ink tank 11 that contains an ink is fixed and that is configured such that a user can refill the ink tank 11 with the ink includes: a consumption amount calculation unit 42 that calculates a consumption amount of the ink; a storage unit 50 that stores a count value that is updated based on the consumption amount of the ink calculated by the consumption amount calculation unit 42; a pair of electrodes that detects whether or not the ink is present at a predetermined position in the ink tank 11; and a control unit 40 that executes ink presence/absence detection with the pair of electrodes. The control unit 40 resets the count value to an initial value thereof if the control unit executes the ink presence/absence detection and determines that the ink is present before the count value is reset to the initial value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
