Liquid ejecting apparatus

Abstract

There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a liquid-ejecting-portion configured to eject a liquid from a nozzle; a cap configured to be relatively move with respect to the liquid-ejecting-portion and configured to form a closed space in which the nozzle is open between the cap and the liquid-ejecting-portion; a negative-pressure-generation-mechanism configured to generate a negative pressure; a pressure chamber configured to accumulate the negative pressure by driving the negative-pressure-generation-mechanism; a discharge flow path that communicates with the cap and the pressure chamber; a discharge flow path opening/closing mechanism configured to open and close the discharge flow path; a volume variable mechanism configured to change a volume of the pressure chamber; and a controller that controls the negative-pressure generation-mechanism, the discharge flow path opening/closing mechanism, and the volume variable mechanism.
