ABSTRACT:
A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head, a liquid receiving member, a liquid receiving member moving mechanism, and a liquid ejection head moving mechanism. The liquid ejection head ejects liquid from liquid ejection nozzles in a nozzle surface to a target transported along a target transport surface opposed to the nozzle surface. A portion of the liquid receiving member receives the liquid ejected from the liquid ejection nozzles in flushing. The liquid receiving member moving mechanism moves the liquid receiving member until an opening faces the nozzle surface in printing, and until the liquid receiving portion faces the nozzle surface in the flushing. The liquid ejection head moving mechanism moves the liquid ejection head until the nozzle surface reaches a printing position close to the target transport surface in the printing and a flushing position spaced from the target transport surface in the flushing.
