Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting unit provided with a nozzle from which liquid is ejected, a liquid supply flow path connected to a liquid supply source and the liquid ejecting unit, and a pump mechanism that includes a pump chamber provided in the liquid supply flow path and that repeats a suction driving operation and a discharge driving operation such that the liquid flows toward the liquid ejecting unit from the liquid supply source. Before maintenance of the liquid ejecting unit is performed by discharging liquid from the nozzle, the pump mechanism performs the suction driving operation until the amount of liquid accommodated in the pump chamber reaches a set value, which is set in advance.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting unit that ejects, to a target, a liquid which is supplied from a liquid supply source via a liquid supply channel; a carriage on which the liquid ejecting unit is mounted and which moves with respect to the target; a gas containing chamber mounted on the carriage; and a pump that is disposed outside the carriage of the liquid ejecting apparatus and sends gas out to one system of a gas channel connected to the gas containing chamber and suctions gas from the gas channel.
