发明名称 Liquid ejecting method and liquid ejecting apparatus
摘要 A liquid ejecting method of a liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid onto a target on the basis of acquired conditions, includes acquiring a residual amount of liquid that is useable, estimating a use amount of liquid that is used in ejection of liquid using a set use amount of liquid per single target quantity that is set in advance with respect to a size of a target that is included in the acquired conditions, and performing a warning that is related to the residual amount of liquid before ejecting the liquid onto the target that is used in a case in which the residual amount of liquid after liquid ejection, which is estimated on the basis of the residual amount of liquid and the use amount of liquid, is smaller than a threshold value.

主权项 1. A liquid ejecting method of a liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid onto a target on the basis of acquired conditions, the method comprising: acquiring a residual amount of liquid that is useable; estimating a use amount of liquid that is to be used in ejection of liquid, the use amount of liquid being a set use amount of liquid per single target quantity that is set in advance with respect to a size of a target that is included in the acquired conditions, the set use amount of liquid being associated with a target having a size that is a maximum size for the liquid ejecting apparatus; and before ejecting the liquid onto the target, performing a warning when the residual amount of liquid after liquid ejection, which is estimated on the basis of the residual amount of liquid and the use amount of liquid, is smaller than a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is with respect to a maximum amount of liquid that is used in ejection of liquid to a stipulated target having a size that is smaller than the maximum size, and wherein the target of the maximum size is transported toward an area where the liquid ejection is performed via a transportation path, the transportation path being different from a transportation path that transports the stipulated target.
