Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a tank; a recording head; a memory: a display; an operation interface; and a controller. The memory stores an ink quantity information including: a first threshold value; and a count value. The controller is configured to perform: an inference process to infer whether ink has been injected into the ink chamber through the inlet; an inquiry process to inquire whether ink has been injected into the ink chamber up to a maximum storage quantity thereof; a first initialization process to set the ink quantity information to a first initial value with which a first difference between the first threshold value and the count value becomes maximum within the prescribed range; and a second initialization process to set the ink quantity information to a second initial value with which the first difference is smaller than the first difference with the first initial value.
