Abstract:
A liquid ejection apparatus includes a supply control section  401  that controls the supply and stop of a liquid to pressure chambers communicating with ejection ports to eject the liquid, and a negative pressure generating section  1004  that generates a negative pressure. The liquid ejection apparatus also includes a negative pressure control unit  230  using the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generating section  1004  to adjust the pressure of the liquid flowing through a collection channel. To stop a flow of the liquid, the supply control section  401  stops the supply of the liquid, and then the negative pressure generating section  1004  is stopped.

Claim (Index 9):
The method for controlling a liquid ejection apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the liquid ejection apparatus includes a first container communicating with the first flow path and configured to store the liquid, a second container communicating with the second flow path and configured to store the liquid, a low negative pressure generating section configured to generate a low negative pressure higher than the pressure in the negative pressure control section, and a switching section configured to connect one of the first and second containers to the negative pressure control section and connect the other to the low negative pressure generating section, the supply control section is provided on a flow path between the first flow path and the first container, and to stop the flow of the liquid, the switching section is used to connect the first container to the low negative pressure generating section and connect the second container to the negative pressure control section, and then the supply control section stops the supply of the liquid.
