1. A printer configured to perform printing using an inkjet head, the printer comprising:
a container including a bottom surface and configured to store a liquid;
a transducer configured to humidify air by causing the liquid stored in the container to vibrate;
a first change mechanism including at least one of a first valve or a first pump, and configured to change a liquid level of the liquid stored in the container, using the at least one of the first valve or the first pump;
a first sensor configured to output a first detection signal indicating that the liquid level reaches a first height;
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes comprising:
change processing of controlling the first change mechanism and changing the liquid level; and
first maintaining processing of, after the change processing is performed, controlling the first change mechanism and maintaining the liquid level at a maintained position lower than the first height and higher than the bottom surface.
