摘要： A liquid discharge apparatus includes a discharge space which faces a discharge surface of a liquid discharge head which is sealed by a cap. A humidification pump is driven to rotate forward such that air in a discharge space is humidified while passing through a water reservoir via an opening and tubes. Humidified air flows into the discharge space via a tube and an opening. When an amount of non-volatile component in the water reservoir exceeds a prescribed amount, the humidification pump is driven to rotate backward such that water stored in the water reservoir is exhausted through the opening via the tubes.
