Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that includes a nozzle formation surface on which a plurality of nozzles which eject a liquid are formed to be lined up in one direction to form nozzle columns, a belt-shaped member that is brought into contact with the nozzle formation surface, and a belt-shaped member contact portion that brings the belt-shaped member into contact with the nozzle formation surface in both a first contact state where the belt-shaped member is brought into contact with a partial area of the nozzle formation surface and a second contact state where the belt-shaped member is in contact with an area corresponding to the nozzle column in a direction along the nozzle column on the nozzle formation surface.

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a liquid ejecting head ejecting a liquid to an ejection target medium from a plurality of nozzles on a nozzle formation surface, the plurality of nozzles being arranged to extend in one direction to form a plurality of nozzle groups;
- and
- a belt-shaped member provided to be capable of being in contact with a partial area of the nozzle formation surface in an intersecting direction intersecting the one direction.
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a liquid ejecting head ejecting a liquid to an ejection target medium from a plurality of nozzles on a nozzle formation surface, plurality of nozzles being arranged to extend in one direction to form a plurality of nozzle groups;
- and
- a wiping part capable of wiping the nozzle formation surface along a plurality of directions including the one direction and an intersecting direction intersecting the one direction, the wiping part including:
- a belt-shaped member provided to be capable of being in contact with the nozzle formation surface so as to be capable of capturing the liquid discharged from the nozzle;
- and
- a contact member being contact with the belt-shaped member so that the belt-shaped member is in contact with the nozzle formation surface, a width of the contact member along an intersecting direction intersecting the one direction being smaller than a length of the nozzle formation surface along the intersecting direction.
