Abstract
A controller of an inkjet printing apparatus is configured to receive first data, which an information processing apparatus transmits in response to receipt of a print instruction. The first data includes an instruction to move the cap from a covering position to a spaced position. Upon receipt of the first data, the controller determines a location of the cap. Then, upon determination that the cap is located at the spaced position, the controller determines the state of the driving force transmission assembly. The controller switches the state to the first state by moving the carriage to the non-recordation area in response to determination that the state is not the first state. Then, the controller receives second data, which includes image recordation condition, from the information processing apparatus, in response to determination that the state is the first state or after switching of the state to the first state is started.
