1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
a liquid containing unit that contains a liquid; a liquid ejecting unit that ejects the liquid; a liquid flow path that connects the liquid containing unit to the liquid ejecting unit; a flowing mechanism that flows the liquid in the liquid flow path; and a regulation portion that is able to regulate flow of the liquid in the liquid flow path, wherein the liquid ejecting unit includes a plurality of nozzles, a common liquid chamber which stores the liquid supplied from the liquid flow path, and a plurality of pressure chambers which communicate with the common liquid chamber and the nozzles, wherein the liquid flow path includes a liquid storage chamber which includes an inlet and an outlet and communicates with the common liquid chamber, a supply flow path which connects the liquid containing unit to the inlet, and a return flow path which connects the outlet to the liquid containing unit and in which the regulation portion is installed, wherein when the liquid is not ejected from the nozzles and the regulation portion does not regulate flow of the return flow path, the liquid is circulated between the liquid containing unit and the liquid flow path by allowing the liquid contained in the liquid containing unit to flow in order of the supply flow path, the liquid storage chamber, and the return flow path by driving of the flowing mechanism, and wherein when the liquid is ejected from the nozzles and the regulation portion does not regulate the flow of the return flow path, the liquid is supplied from the liquid storage chamber to the common liquid chamber by allowing the liquid contained in the liquid containing unit to flow to the liquid storage chamber via both of the supply flow path and the return flow path. |
