Liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of nozzles which eject a liquid;
• pressure chambers which communicate with the nozzles;
• pressure generating units which cause pressures of the pressure chambers to change;
• a liquid supplying unit which carries out supplying of the liquid to the pressure chambers and collection of the liquid which has passed through the pressure chambers;
• a controller which drives the pressure generating units of the pressure chambers corresponding to liquid ejection requests which request liquid ejection from the nozzles;
• and
• an ejection fault determination unit which determines an occurrence of a fault in the liquid ejection using a vibration transition of a residual vibration which occurs in the liquid of the pressure chambers according to a pressure change which accompanies driving of the pressure generating units,
• wherein the controller stops the driving of the pressure generating unit of an ejection fault pressure chamber in which it is determined that a fault occurs in the liquid ejection by the ejection fault determination unit spanning at least a fixed stopping period,
• wherein the liquid supplying unit continues both the supplying of the liquid to the pressure chamber and the collection of the liquid which has passed through the pressure chambers during the stopping period.
