Claim 6:
7. The liquid ejection device according to claim 3,
wherein a flushing area, toward which the liquid is ejected from the plurality of nozzles in the second flushing, is located on one side in the scanning direction with respect to an ejection area toward which the liquid is ejected from the plurality of nozzles in the second recording,
wherein the controller is configured to perform:
in the recording, a forward scanning operation to cause the scanning mechanism to move the head from an other side to the one side in the scanning direction while causing the plurality of nozzles to eject the liquid and a reverse scanning operation to cause the scanning mechanism to move the head from the one side to the other side in the scanning direction while causing the plurality of nozzles to eject the liquid;
operation determining whether each of a preceding scanning operation performed in the first recording and a succeeding scanning operation subsequent to the preceding scanning operation performed in the second recording is the forward scanning operation;
when it is determined in the operation determining that each of the preceding scanning operation and the succeeding scanning operation is the forward scanning operations, the second flushing while the head is moved by the scanning mechanism from the one side to the other side in the scanning direction and between the preceding scanning operation and the succeeding scanning operation; and
after the second flushing, changing the voltage output to the head from the second flushing voltage to the recording voltage.
