ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an ink-jet type recording apparatus that accurately compute the remaining amount of waste liquid, thereby utilizing a waste-liquid absorbing function of the waste liquid absorber at a maximum and prevent the waste liquid from leaking outside the apparatus. The ink-jet type recording apparatus includes a first remaining amount counter for managing a remaining amount A of waste liquid of which an evaporation amount is computed based on time information acquired from a host, a second remaining amount counter for managing a remaining amount B of waste liquid of which an evaporation amount is computed in case where there is not time information from the host, and an overflow deciding unit for accurately deciding the remaining amount of waste liquid by adding A and B when computing the total amount of waste liquid in a waste liquid absorber.
