Abstract
In an image-recording device, a cartridge has a first chamber, a first outlet, and a first sensor. A mount body includes a tank in connection with the cartridge, and a second sensor. The tank has an inlet, and a second chamber. The liquid in the first chamber is capable of flowing into the second chamber via the first outlet of the cartridge and the inlet of the tank. The first sensor outputs a first signal when a level of the liquid in the second chamber is higher than a first position, and outputs a second signal when the level is lower than the first position. The second sensor outputs a third signal when the level is higher than a second position, and outputs the fourth signal when the level is lower than the second position.
