Method of controlling a liquid ejecting device and liquid ejecting device

Abstract

Provided is a method of controlling a liquid ejecting device. The liquid ejecting device includes a liquid ejecting unit configured to eject a liquid containing an inorganic pigment from a nozzle provided at a nozzle surface, a wiper unit including a band-like member configured to absorb the liquid and a pressing unit configured to move the band-like member in a first direction, and a wiper moving unit configured to move the wiper unit in a second direction opposite to the first direction to wipe the nozzle surface using the band-like member. The method includes performing first wiping in which, to wipe the nozzle surface, the wiper moving unit moves the wiper unit at a first velocity while the pressing unit moves the band-like member at a first velocity.
