Liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• a liquid ejecting portion that performs printing by ejecting a liquid to a medium from a plurality of nozzles;
• a first mounting portion that is configured to mount a first liquid container that contains the liquid;
• a second mounting portion that is configured to mount a second liquid container having a liquid containing amount smaller than a liquid containing amount of the first liquid container;
• a detecting portion that detects a remaining amount of the liquid contained in the first liquid container mounted in the first mounting portion;
• and
• a control portion that calculates a remaining amount of the liquid contained in the second liquid container, based on a standard value representing an amount of the liquid contained in the second liquid container and a standard value representing an ejection amount of the liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting portion,
• wherein the control portion is configured to calculate the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the first liquid container based on a standard value representing the amount of the liquid contained in the first liquid container and a standard value representing the ejection amount of the liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting portion, and
• wherein the control portion compares the calculated remaining amount of the liquid contained in the first liquid container and the detected remaining amount of the liquid contained in the first liquid container, to each other, and corrects a calculation result of the remaining amount of the liquid contained in the second liquid container based on the comparison, the detected remaining amount of the liquid being obtained from detection by the detecting portion.
