    摘要: There is provided a tank including a case provided with a pair of lateral walls separated in a first direction with the tank in a usable posture, a first chamber and a second chamber retaining a liquid, a liquid channel rendering communication between the second chamber and the outside of the case, a liquid inlet port for filling the first chamber with the liquid, a first communicating port rendering communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, and a second communicating port rendering communication between the second chamber and the liquid channel. If the first chamber and the second chamber retain the liquid at the maximum amount retainable in the tank in the usable posture, then with the tank in such a rotated posture that one of the pair of lateral walls becomes the upper end of the tank along a vertical direction, the first communicating port is positioned above the level of the liquid at the maximum amount.

    摘要: A printing liquid container includes first and second members having a supply port and a valve, respectively. The members rotate with respect to each other between first and second states. The valve closes and opens the supply port in the first and second states, respectively. The first and second members have first and second fitting portions, respectively. The fitting portions fit to a fitted portion of a tank in the first state. The second fitting portion allows rotation of the second member with respect to the fitted portion when the first fitting portion are fitted to the fitting portion. The first member does not rotate together with the second member due to fitting between the fitted portion and the first fitting portion. The second member cannot be removed from the fitted portion due to fitting of the second fitting portion to the fitted portion in the second state.

    摘要: There is provided a liquid ejection apparatus including: a liquid ejection head; a signal outputter configured to output an ejection state signal; and a controller. The ejection state signal is a first or second ejection state signal, the first ejection state signal fulfills a first condition regarding a maximum value and/or a minimum value in a first period and does not fulfill a second condition regarding the maximum value and/or the minimum value in a second period after the first period; the second ejection state signal does not fulfill the first condition in the first period and fulfills the second condition in the second period. The controller is configured to vary a process to be performed between a case in which the ejection state signal outputted is the first ejection state signal and a case in which the ejection state signal outputted is the second ejection state signal.
