Liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus main body including
• a liquid ejecting head that can eject liquid onto a target object through nozzles,
• a movable body that is movable in a state where the liquid ejecting head is supported thereon,
• a movement guiding member that has a sliding surface and enables the movable body to move in a scanning direction perpendicular to a vertical direction in a state where the movable body is mounted thereon,
• a movement mechanism that causes the movable body to move, along the sliding surface, in the scanning direction, and
• a slide body that has an abutment portion which can abut on the movable body which moves in the scanning direction and has a cap member which can abut on the liquid ejecting head to surround the nozzles in such a manner that the slide body moves along with the movable body in a state where the abutment portion abuts on the movable body,
• wherein the movable body has a connection portion in which the movable body is connected to the movement mechanism, and
• wherein, in a state where the cap member abuts on the liquid ejecting head, the abutment portion of the slide body abuts on the movable body at a position which is located, in terms of a direction perpendicular to the sliding surface, at the same position as the connection portion or is located further on an anti-gravity direction than the connection portion.
