A fluid ejection device includes a fluid ejection unit that ejects fluid and an ejection control unit that controls ejection of the fluid. A fluid container accommodates the fluid supplied to the fluid ejection unit. A connection channel connects the fluid ejection unit and the fluid container. A volume change unit controls opening and closing of the connection channel and adjusts an inner volume of the fluid container. The fluid ejection device operates in a first ejection mode in which, when the connection channel is opened, the volume change unit reduces the inner volume, and the ejection control unit ejects fluid from the fluid ejection unit, and after the ejection of the fluid, the connection channel is closed. In a second ejection mode, after the first ejection mode, when the connection channel is opened, the ejection control unit allows the ejection of fluid from the fluid ejection unit.
