Abstract: A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head, an absorbing member, and a control unit, in which the liquid ejection head and the absorbing member are movable relative to each other in a scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction, the receiving area includes a plurality of first divided receiving areas and a plurality of second divided receiving areas, and the control unit performs flushing on one or more of the first divided receiving areas when there is no first divided receiving area exceeding a first reception limit when flushing is performed on the one or more corresponding first divided receiving areas by one or more nozzle arrays, and performs flushing on one or more of the second divided receiving areas when there is a first divided receiving area exceeding the first reception limit.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, an attachment unit, and an operation unit including a display unit. The attachment unit includes a first attachment portion for a first liquid reservoir unit that reserves a first liquid, and a second attachment portion fora second liquid reservoir unit that reserves a second liquid having a sedimentation property inferior to that of the first liquid. A control method includes, in a case in which execution of a replacement mode is instructed, displaying information for prompting removal of the first liquid reservoir unit, displaying information for prompting attachment of a different second liquid reservoir unit from the second liquid reservoir unit attached to the second attachment portion, to the first attachment portion, and supplying the second liquid to nozzles that discharge the first liquid when the different second liquid reservoir unit is attached to the first attachment portion.

Abstract: A control method for a liquid ejection device including a liquid ejection head having a nozzle surface in which a plurality of nozzle arrays for ejecting liquid is formed and a wiping section which has an absorbent member, wherein the liquid ejection head and the wiping section are relatively movable in a scanning direction and in a sub-scanning direction; the nozzle arrays extend in the sub-scanning direction and are formed at predetermined intervals in the scanning direction; and the wiping section is set with, at different positions from each other, a wiping region in which the absorbent member wipes the nozzle surface and a receiving region in which the absorbent member receives liquid discharged from the liquid ejection head, the control method including performing flushing which includes ejecting liquid from each of the plurality of nozzle arrays at intervals in the scanning direction that are smaller than the predetermined intervals.

Abstract: A liquid circulation mechanism includes a first storage portion configured to store liquid to be supplied to a liquid discharging head, a second storage portion configured to store the liquid collected from the liquid discharging head, a third storage portion configured to store the liquid between the second storage portion and the first storage portion, a first check valve allowing flow of the liquid from the second storage portion to the third storage portion while regulating flow of the liquid from the third storage portion to the second storage portion, in the second collection flow path, and a second check valve allowing flow of the liquid from the third storage portion to the first storage portion while regulating flow of the liquid from the first storage portion to the third storage portion, in the third collection flow path.
