<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the time required for forming an image and a cutting line while reducing the number of components. <P>SOLUTION: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a transport roller that transports a medium in a transport direction, a head that moves in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and ejects liquid to the medium, a cutter that moves in the transport direction and the orthogonal direction and cuts only a portion of the medium positioned in a predetermined range from a first position to a second position in the transport direction, and a controller that performs an image forming process of forming an image on the medium by alternately repeating a transport operation of controlling the transport roller to transport the medium in the transport direction and a liquid ejecting operation of controlling the head moving in the orthogonal direction to eject the liquid, and performs a cutting line forming process of forming a cutting line on the medium by performing a cutting operation of controlling the cutter to cut the part of the medium positioned in the predetermined range by the transport operation during the image forming process in parallel with the liquid ejecting operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
