A fluid ejecting apparatus includes: a carriage that supports a fluid ejecting head for ejecting fluid through a plurality of nozzles and is able to be reciprocated; a cap unit that comes in contact with the fluid ejecting head to form a plurality of cap internal spaces individually enclosing the nozzles; a suction unit that is able to suck the cap internal spaces via respective suction passages; and a selective blocking unit that is able to selectively block the suction passages as the carriage is reciprocated in a maintenance area for the maintenance of the fluid ejecting head, wherein the selective blocking unit includes: a blocking member that is reciprocated as the carriage is reciprocated in the maintenance area; and cam surfaces that engage with the blocking member as the blocking member is reciprocated to lead the blocking member to blocking positions for blocking the suction passages in order.
