  • Patent number: 11938740
    Abstract: A liquid ejecting device includes a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to a medium to perform printing, and a control unit configured to control the liquid ejecting head and include a storage unit. The storage unit is configured to be able to store a plurality of ranges of the liquid consumption amount, and the number of printed sheets on which, in a predetermined period, printing is performed in each of the plurality of ranges of the liquid consumption amount. When the plurality of ranges of the liquid consumption amount are changed within the predetermined period, the control unit performs invalidation processing on the number of printed sheets stored in the storage unit.
