Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a cooling frame. The cooling frame includes a flow passage through which the first liquid coolant circulates, a flow inlet connected to one end of the flow passage so as to make the first liquid coolant flow from the outside into the flow passage, and a flow outlet connected to the other end of the flow passage so as to make the first liquid coolant having flown through the flow passage flow to the outside. The machine is configured that, when the flow passage is divided into a front half portion closer to the flow inlet and a latter half portion closer to the flow outlet, the front half portion becomes a portion where the first liquid coolant mainly cools the second liquid coolant, and the latter half portion becomes a portion where the first liquid coolant mainly cools the gas coolant.

Abstract: A maintenance unit is a unit that maintains a liquid ejecting head and includes a cap holder that has a cap member capable of abutting against the liquid ejecting head, guide pins that guide the cap holder in a movable manner in an approaching/separating direction in which the cap member approaches and is separated from the liquid ejecting head, an engagement portion that is capable of being engaged with the cap holder, and a displacement operating portion that displaces the engagement portion between a restricting position at which the engagement portion restricts drawing of the cap holder out of the guide pins and an allowing position at which the engagement portion allows the cap holder to be drawn out of the guide pins.
