A cap moving mechanism for moving a cap for sealing a liquid ejecting head for ejecting liquid to a target, includes a pushing-up part for moving the cap upwards or downwards by rotating, a cam shaft provided integrally with the pushing-up part as a rotating shaft of the pushing-up part, a cam shaft gear including a drive region, which rotates integrally with the cam shaft taken as a rotating shaft, whereby a driving force of a motor for driving the cam shaft is transmitted, and a non-drive region whereby the driving force of the motor is not transmitted and a driving force transmission gear for transmitting the driving force of the motor to the cam shaft gear in order that the cap can be moved downwards from a state in which the cap has been completely moved upwards, after the motor rotates by a predetermined amount from when the cap has been completely moved upwards, and transmitting the driving force of the motor to the cam shaft gear in order that the cap can be moved upwards from a state in which the cap has been completely moved downwards, after the motor rotates by a predetermined amount from when the cap has been completely moved downwards.
