A liquid ejecting apparatus has a movement mechanism (51), a pressurized purge unit, and a liquid discharge restriction mechanism. The movement mechanism (51) moves at least one of a liquid ejecting head (4) and a cap (41) so as to allow the cap to take a capping position where the cap covers a liquid ejection face of the head (4) or an uncapping position where the cap is spaced away from the liquid ejection face and capable of receiving liquid ejected from nozzles formed on the liquid ejection face. The pressurized purge unit makes liquid forcibly ejected from the nozzles into the cap. The liquid discharge restriction mechanism restricts liquid from being discharged through a discharge port (42b) of the cap (41) when the cap is in the capping position, and permits liquid to be discharged through the discharge port when the cap is in the uncapping position.
