Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid supply apparatus includes a reservoir for storing a liquid therein, a supply path for supplying the liquid from the reservoir to a liquid consuming apparatus, a pump for feeding the liquid from the reservoir to the supply path, and a controller for outputting a driving signal to the pump to control the supply of the liquid. The controller acquires a target feed volume of the liquid from the pump to gradually change a feed volume of the liquid from the pump from a current feed volume to the target feed volume, based on a request signal from the liquid consuming apparatus serving as a destination to which the liquid is supplied. This suppresses an abrupt change in pressure in the liquid consuming apparatus serving as the destination to which the liquid is supplied.
