Liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus configured to execute a printing operation to eject liquid from a nozzle toward a medium, wherein

• the liquid ejecting apparatus is configured to transition to:
• a first mode in which less electric power is consumed per unit period than in the printing operation;
• and
• a second mode in which less electric power is consumed per unit period than in the first mode,
• the second mode is started at an end of a predetermined period of time following completion of the printing operation,
• the first mode is started after the printing operation is completed and before the second mode is started, and
• a period of time taken for the liquid ejecting apparatus to return to the printing operation from termination of the first mode is shorter than a period of time taken for the liquid ejecting apparatus to return to the printing operation from termination of the second mode,
• wherein the liquid ejecting apparatus comprises:
• a driving element configured to be driven to eject the liquid from the nozzle;
• one or plural circuits including a driving signal generation circuit that generates a driving signal to drive the driving element;
• and
• a first circuit different from the one or plural circuits, wherein
• in the first mode, operation of the one or plural circuits is stopped, and
• in the second mode, the operation of the one or plural circuits and operation of the first circuit are stopped.
