Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head having nozzles and an opening surface through which the nozzles are opened, the liquid ejecting head being configured to eject liquid from the nozzles, a supply flow path configured to supply the liquid to the liquid ejecting head, a pressurizing mechanism that can pressurize the inside of the supply flow path, an opening/closing mechanism that can open and close the supply flow path, and a control unit that controls operations of the liquid ejecting head, the pressurizing mechanism, and the opening/closing mechanism.

Abstract: The liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head configured to eject liquid from the nozzles, a supply flow path configured to supply liquid to the liquid ejecting head, and a pressurizing mechanism that has a liquid chamber disposed in the middle of the supply flow path and a pressure-receiving portion constituting a portion of a wall of the liquid chamber. The pressurizing mechanism is configured to pressurize a region downstream of the liquid chamber when the pressure-receiving portion receives an external force, The liquid chamber is arranged side by side with the liquid ejecting head in a state where the pressure-receiving portion is positioned on an opposite side of the liquid ejecting head when viewed in plan view from above.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting section and a protective member. The liquid ejecting section has an aperture surface having ejection outlets that eject liquid droplets. The protective member has passage openings through which the liquid droplets pass. The protective member is disposed between a medium and the aperture surface when the liquid ejecting section ejects liquid droplets onto the medium.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting section in which a nozzle capable of ejecting liquid is provided; a supply flow path that supplies the liquid to the nozzle; a pressurizing mechanism that discharges the liquid from the nozzle by pressurizing the liquid inside the supply flow path; and a pressure reducing mechanism that discharges the liquid from the nozzle by reducing a pressure of a space communicating with a side opposite to a side of the supply flow path of the nozzle. In a maintenance operation discharging the liquid from the nozzle by driving at least one of the pressurizing mechanism and the pressure reducing mechanism, the last discharging operation of the maintenance operation is performed by driving the pressurizing mechanism from a state where the negative pressure is caused to act on the inside of the nozzle by driving the pressure reducing mechanism.
