The second ejection pulses include first vibration suppression components that change from the second potential to the reference potential after the ejection components. The third ejection pulse includes a second vibration suppression component that changes from the second potential to a third potential. The reference potential is a potential between the first potential and the second potential and between the second potential and the third potential.
