<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid ejecting apparatus that can more reliably collect mist and prevent contamination of the inside of the apparatus, and a method of controlling the liquid ejecting apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid ejecting apparatus includes a switch which performs switching between a platen applied voltage generation part side and the ground side with respect to a platen 5 which supports a recording medium, wherein in a case where recording paper 6 is present on the platen, the switch is switched to the ground side, so that the platen is set to have the same potential as that of a nozzle formation face, and meanwhile, in a case where the recording paper is not present on the platen, the switch is switched to the platen applied voltage generation part side, so that the platen is electrically charged to have negative polarity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
