Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A liquid ejection device, comprising:
a head having a plurality of nozzles;
a cap;
a moving mechanism configured to relatively move the head and the cap such that the cap is capable of selectively taking a capping state and an uncapping state, the capping state being a state in which the cap contacts the head and covers the plurality of nozzles, the uncapping state being a state in which the cap is separated from the head and uncovers the plurality of nozzles;
a conveyance mechanism configured to convey a recording medium relative to the head; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to perform:
when the cap is in the uncapping state, recording, based on image data, by controlling the conveyance mechanism to convey the recording medium and by outputting a voltage to the head to cause the plurality of nozzles to eject liquid toward the recording medium;
when the cap is in the uncapping state, flushing, based on flushing data different from the image data, by outputting a voltage to the head to cause the plurality of nozzles to eject liquid;
capping by driving the moving mechanism to move the cap such that the state of the cap is changed from the uncapping state to the capping state;
first obtaining a temperature of the head after the recording and before a first flushing, the first flushing being the flushing performed after the recording and before the capping;
first voltage determining a first flushing voltage based on the temperature obtained in the first obtaining; and
outputting the first flushing voltage determined in the first voltage determining to the head when the first flushing is performed.
