Abstract
A liquid discharging apparatus, having a head, a reservoir section, a valve, a switching assembly, and a controller, is provided. The reservoir section has a liquid reservoir chamber, an air chamber, an injection port, and an atmosphere communication path. The switching assembly switches states of the valve between an opening state, in which the valve opens the atmosphere communication path, and a closing state, in which the valve closes the atmosphere communication path. The controller is configured to control the valve through the switching assembly to close the atmosphere communication path, control the head to discharge the liquid after closing the atmosphere communication path, and control the valve through the switching assembly to close the atmosphere communication path before the liquid is injected through the injection port.
