Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid discharging apparatus having a liquid discharging head that is attached to an apparatus main body so as to be capable of being attached or detached and that discharges a liquid from a nozzle includes: identifying an alignment shift of the liquid discharging head attached to the apparatus main body; and identifying correction information that is correlated with the alignment shift identified in the identifying of the alignment shift based on a correction information table in which the correction information related to liquid discharge control and the alignment shift are correlated with each other.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting head includes: an ejection surface along which a plurality of nozzles that eject ink are arranged; and a projection portion which has a long shape on the ejection surface, and protrudes toward the ejection surface, in which the projection portion includes a part in which the height varies from one end side to the other end side, in which the width of the projection portion becomes narrower from a base side to a tip end side in the direction of height, and in which the shapes of end portions of the projection portions on one end side and the other end side are different from each other. Accordingly, even when a medium transported opposing the ejection surface is curled, it is possible to prevent the medium from floating up by the projection portion, and thus, it is possible to prevent the medium from coming into contact with the ejection surface by a simple configuration.
