ABSTRACT:
A liquid ejection apparatus having a liquid ejection head and a switching device is provided. The switching device includes a first supply passage through which first liquid flows, a second supply passage through which second liquid different from the first liquid flows, a head supply passage, a first ON-OFF valve that selectively opens and closes the first supply passage, a second ON-OFF valve that selectively opens and closes the second supply passage, a rotary cam, and an actuator. The head supply passage extends from a joining point between a downstream end of the first supply passage and a downstream end of the second supply passage to the liquid ejection head. The actuator is driven by the cam in such a manner that the first ON-OFF valve and the second ON-OFF valve are selectively opened and closed. The actuator operates the first and second ON-OFF valves in such a manner that one of the first and second ON-OFF valves becomes open and the other becomes closed.
