• a cap section that is exposable through the opening section and that covers the liquid ejection surface of the liquid ejection head;
• and
• a shutter configured to move between a covering position at which the shutter covers the opening section and an open position at which the shutter opens the opening section, the shutter supporting a medium passing through a position facing the liquid ejecting head when the shutter is at the covering position, wherein
• the shutter includes a plurality of movement sections along a movement direction, and two adjacent movement sections are pivotably coupled to each other and
• when the shutter is in the open position, at least one of the movement sections takes an inclined posture with respect to the liquid ejection surface.
