Abstract
A liquid ejection apparatus includes: a liquid ejection head; a first conveyor for conveying a recording medium in a first direction to a recording position; a second conveyor disposed downstream of the recording position; a third conveyor for returning the recording medium to the first conveyor; and a dryer disposed at a drying position located downstream of the recording position in the first direction. A controller controls: image recording on a first surface of the recording medium opposite its second surface (first processing); the second conveyor to convey the recorded recording medium in the first direction until its upstream edge portion reaches a downstream side of the drying position in the first direction (second processing); the second conveyor to convey the recording medium in a second direction (third processing); and image recording on the second surface (fourth processing). The dryer dries the recording medium in the second processing.
