Abstract:
The control unit, when a first condition in which a minimum value of a suppliable time that is a time it takes for an amount of liquid contained in each supply-side sub tank to reach an amount corresponding to a switching preparation time necessary for switching between the refill-side sub tank and the supply-side sub tank is less than or equal to a maximum value of a full refill refilling time that is a period from when refill processing for performing refilling of the liquid from the main tank is started in each of the plurality of refill-side sub tanks until a state is achieved in which the refill-side sub tank is fully re-filled with liquid and can supply the liquid is satisfied, the refill processing is performed on the plurality of refill-side sub tanks.

Claim (Index 3):
The liquid ejection system according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control unit, in a case where a second condition in which a minimum value of the suppliable time of each of the plurality of supply-side sub tanks is greater than or equal to a maximum refilling time that is a time it takes for the fully refilled refill-side sub tank that has entered an empty state with respect to liquid to enter a state of being filled again with the liquid and being able to supply the liquid, in either of a first case that is a state immediately after switching between the supply-side sub tank and the refill-side sub tank is performed and a second case in which, in the refill-side sub tank and the main tank for containing the same type of liquid, the liquid consumed amount when the refill-side sub tank functioned as the supply-side sub tank is greater than or equal to the liquid remaining amount in the main tank, executes refill processing for performing refilling of the liquid from the main tank regardless of whether or not the first condition is satisfied.
