Abstract
A liquid consuming apparatus includes a liquid cartridge, a detector, and a controller. The liquid cartridge includes a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber. The detector is configured to output a detection signal based on an amount of liquid which has flowed from the first liquid chamber to the second liquid chamber. The controller is configured to measure, based on the detection signal output from the detector, a physical quantity, based on which a flow rate of liquid flowing from the first liquid chamber to the second liquid chamber can be specified, and is configured to determine whether the physical quantity is within a threshold range.
