1. A liquid ejection apparatus comprising:
a liquid ejection section configured to print by ejecting a liquid from a nozzle;
a liquid container including
an accommodation chamber configured to store liquid and
an injection port that communicates with the accommodation chamber and that is configured to be injected with liquid from outside;
a supply flow path communicating between the liquid ejection section and the liquid container; and
an opening and closing mechanism configured to, when power is turned on, enable, and, when power is turned off, disable switching between an open state, in which the supply flow path is open, and a closed state, in which the supply flow path is closed, wherein
the liquid ejection apparatus is configured to enable selection of a first mode in which, when power is turned off, power is turned off with the opening and closing mechanism in the open state, and a second mode in which, when power is turned off, power is turned off with the opening and closing mechanism in the closed state,
when there is a command to transport the liquid ejection apparatus, the second mode is selected, and
when there is no command to transport the liquid ejection apparatus, the first mode is selected.
