Abstract:
A controller is configured to: (a) control a head according to a recording command received to eject liquid through ejection openings toward a recording medium; (b) control a discharger to discharge the liquid toward a receiving member through at least one of the ejection openings; (c) determine whether a remaining amount representing an amount of the liquid on the receiving member and based at least on an amount of the liquid discharged onto the receiving member in the step (b) is equal to or greater than a first predetermined amount; and (d) control the remover to remove the liquid on the receiving member. The controller is configured to perform the step (a) before the step (d) when it is determined in the step (c) that the remaining amount is less than the first predetermined amount.
