1. A liquid ejection apparatus, comprising:
a head configured to eject liquid; a conveying mechanism configured to convey a recording medium on which an image is recorded with liquid ejected from the head; a holding mechanism configured to accommodate at least one recording medium less than or equal to a specific number, the holding mechanism comprising: a first surface which supports the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism; and a second surface spaced apart from and located above the first surface in a vertical direction, the holding mechanism being configured to hold the at least one recording medium between the first surface and the second surface; a moving mechanism configured to move at least the first surface selectively to one of a support position at which the first surface supports the recording medium and a non-support position at which the first surface does not support the recording medium; a reception tray disposed under the holding mechanism, the reception tray being configured to receive a plurality of recording media having been held by the holding mechanism in a state in which the plurality of recording media are stacked on one another on the reception tray, the reception tray comprising a support surface which supports a lowermost one of the plurality of recording media; and a controller configured to execute:
a separation processing in which the controller separates the plurality of recording media, which are greater in number than the specific number and are recorded throughout one recording job, into a plurality of recording-medium groups by setting at least one separation position such that the number of recording media in each of the plurality of recording-medium groups is less than or equal to the specific number;a conveyance processing in which the controller controls the conveying mechanism to convey the recording medium to a space between the first surface and the second surface in each of the plurality of recording-medium groups;an acquisition processing in which the controller acquires a waiting time for each of the plurality of recording-medium groups obtained in the separation processing, the waiting time being a period in which each of the plurality of recording-medium groups is to wait in the holding mechanism; anda moving processing in which the controller controls the moving mechanism to move the first surface from the support position to the non-support position when a time elapsed from a timing when each of the plurality of recording-medium groups has been conveyed to the holding mechanism reaches the waiting time for said each of the plurality of recording-medium groups. |
