<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid ejecting apparatus which uses a line-shaped absorbing member for accepting a fluid, and rapidly moves a head and the absorbing member in flushing so as to prevent contamination of a recording medium and also shorten a flushing time. <P>SOLUTION: The fluid ejecting apparatus includes: the line-shaped absorbing member that extends along a nozzle row and absorbs the fluid ejected from nozzles; a head moving mechanism that moves a fluid ejecting head between a standby position and a flushing position; and an absorbing member-moving mechanism that moves the absorbing member between the flushing position and the standby position. As the fluid ejecting head is moved from the standby position to the flushing position, the absorbing member is moved from the standby position to the flushing position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
