Control method for liquid ejecting system and liquid ejecting system

A control method for a liquid ejecting system provided with a liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting portion that includes a plurality of nozzles through each of which a liquid is ejected, a nozzle inspecting portion that performs an ejection inspection for inspecting whether or not the nozzles are in a state capable of ejecting liquid droplets correctly, and a maintenance portion that performs maintenance of the nozzles, and an inputting apparatus including a data inputting portion through which data can be inputted, the control method comprising:

• a specific data detecting process that detects whether or not input data inputted to the data inputting portion is specific data which is other than liquid ejection data for causing a liquid corresponding to an image to be formed on an ejection target medium to be ejected from the liquid ejecting portion, and which is determined in advance as data for prompting the ejection inspection;
• and
• a nozzle inspecting process that, in the case where the specific data is detected in the specific data detecting process, causes the nozzle inspecting portion to perform the ejection inspection.
