LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head which communicates with a nozzle opening, and includes individual flow paths which are arranged in a line along a first direction, and a manifold; a first flow path and a second flow path which are connected to the manifold; a switching unit which switches a communication state between a liquid storage unit and the respective first and second flow paths; a pressure regulating unit which includes a valve which is open due to negative pressure on the manifold side of the first flow path; a pressure-feeding unit which sends liquid in a pressurizing manner toward the switching unit from the liquid storage unit; and a control unit which controls the switching unit, in which the control unit is capable of performing switching between a first mode in which liquid is supplied to the manifold through the valve by causing the liquid storage unit and the first flow path to communicate with the switching unit and a second mode in which liquid is supplied to the manifold without going through the valve by causing the liquid storage unit and the second flow path to communicate with the switching unit.
