Abstract
For appropriate execution of processing depending on a condition in an image printing apparatus, the image printing apparatus includes a mounting unit on which a tank is mountable, a print head, a sub tank which receives ink from the tank and supplies the ink to the print head, and a refilling unit which refills the sub tank with ink from the tank. In a case where a tank mounted on the mounting unit is noncompliant with a predetermined condition, the control unit prevents the refilling unit from refilling the sub tank with ink from the tank. In contrast, in a case where a tank mounted on the mounting unit is compliant with the predetermined condition, the control unit causes the refilling unit to refill the sub tank with ink from the tank.
