Liquid ejection apparatus

Abstract

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a wiper carriage 59, and a pressurizing mechanism 60 disposed in a liquid supply path 73 via which a liquid from the liquid storage portion 101 is supplied to an ejection head 20H. The wiper carriage 59 has a wiper 58, which is an example of a maintenance portion. The pressurizing mechanism 60 includes a liquid storage chamber 63 that forms a portion of the liquid supply path 73 and a diaphragm 62, which is an example of a deforming member configured to be deformed to change the volume of the liquid storage chamber 63. The wiper carriage 59 causes the liquid in a nozzle 20N of the ejection head 20H communicating with the liquid storage chamber 63 to flow in a discharge direction by pressing the diaphragm 62 at the pressurized position to pressurize the liquid storage chamber 63.
