In an ink-jet recording apparatus, when a controller receives an image recording command for a sheet placed on a manual feed tray in a state in which a cap is in a first posture in which the cap covers a nozzle face, the controller is configured to rotate the motor in a first direction by a first rotation amount smaller than a complete switch rotation amount required for the image recording. And, the controller is configured to rotate the motor in a second direction by a second rotation amount equal to or less than the first rotation amount. Then, the controller is configured to rotate the motor in the first direction by a difference rotation amount between the complete switch rotation amount and the first rotation amount.
