The liquid in the reservoir is to be delivered from the first outlet to one of the liquid discharge heads. The liquid in the reservoir is to be delivered from the second outlet to another of the liquid discharge heads. A distance between the inlet and the first outlet is shorter than a distance between the inlet and the second outlet. The wall member is interposed between the inlet and the first outlet.
