• at least one contact member provided integrally with the liquid ejection head and configured to come into contact with the medium conveyed between the head surface and the facing portion, wherein
• the contact member is displaceable between a first position and a second position that are relative positions to the head surface,
• the first position is a position at which the contact member is allowed to interfere with the wiper and come into contact with the medium, and
• the second position is a position at which the contact member is not allowed to interfere with the wiper.
