Abstract
A liquid discharge apparatus includes an apparatus body, a liquid discharge unit, a first ventilation channel a cover, and a second ventilation channel. The liquid discharge unit discharges a liquid. The first ventilation channel in the apparatus body has a first end opened to an interior of the apparatus body in a first direction. The cover is movable between an open position and a closed position to operably close the apparatus body. The second ventilation channel connected to the cover has a second end opened to the interior of the apparatus body in a second direction different from the first direction. The cover at the closed position causes the first end of the first ventilation channel to be connected to the second end of the second ventilation channel.
