PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily recognize an ink consumption state by displaying the number of discharging ink dots or a ratio of the number of the dots to the number of predetermined dischargeable ink dots. SOLUTION: The number of discharging ink dots or a ratio of the number of the dots to the number of predetermined dischargeable ink dots (constant) is displayed (S089). Then, whether 'n' is 4 or not is confirmed (S090). In the case of '4', a process is transferred to a step S093. If the 'n' is not 4, whether 'n' is 3 or not is confirmed (S091), and if the 'n' is 3, the process is transferred to a step S093. If the 'n' is not 3, the 'n' is incremented by '1', and the process is returned to a step S084. During the 'n' of 0 to 4, whether warning (n) is shifted from OFF to ON or not is confirmed (S093), if the warming remains OFF or ON as it is, the warning that an ink amount becomes small is finished. If the warning is switched from the OFF to the ON, a message that a residual amount of type of the ink according to the 'n' is small is warned by the message, a warning sound or the like (S094), and then this ink residue warning process is finished. |
