• a liquid ejection section that performs printing by ejecting liquid from nozzles onto a medium;
• a liquid receiving section having an absorbing member that receives liquid that was ejected as waste liquid from the nozzles;
• an ejection section movement mechanism that is provided in the base section, and that movably holds the liquid ejection section and the liquid receiving section;
• a medium support section that is provided on the base section, and that supports the medium in a print area where the liquid ejection section performs printing;
• and
• a liquid tray that is provided below the liquid receiving section, and that is configured to receive liquid discharged from the liquid receiving section, wherein
• the ejection section movement mechanism is configured to move the liquid ejection section and the liquid receiving section across a depth direction of the print area, and to move the liquid ejection section in a scanning direction that intersects the depth direction,
• the liquid receiving section is provided at a position below the liquid ejection section as viewed from a direction along the scanning direction, and
• the liquid tray is provided spanning the depth direction of a movement area in which the liquid receiving section moves.
