Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording medium; a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid onto the recording medium; a carriage that holds the liquid ejecting head; a charge amount detection unit that detects a charge amount on the recording medium; and a driving control unit. In the case where the charge amount detected by the charge amount detection unit has exceeded a predetermined value, the driving control unit performs at least one of the following: controls the transport unit so that the transport speed of the recording medium becomes relatively slower.
Claims8
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a recording medium;
- a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid from a nozzle onto the recording medium transported by the transport unit;
- a charge amount detection unit that detects a charge amount on the recording medium;
- and
- a driving control unit that controls the transport unit so that the transport speed of the recording medium in the case where the charge amount detected by the charge amount detection unit has exceeded a predetermined value becomes slower than the transport speed of the recording medium in the case where the charge amount detected by the charge amount detection unit is smaller than the predetermined value. contact with the recording medium.
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a recording medium;
- a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid from a nozzle onto the recording medium transported by the transport unit;
- a carriage that holds the liquid ejecting head so that the liquid ejecting head can move back and forth along a guide portion;
- a charge amount detection unit that detects a charge amount on the recording medium;
- and
- a driving control unit that, in the case where the charge amount detected by the charge amount detection unit has exceeded a predetermined value, performs the following in progressive stages in accordance with the degree of the charge amount detected by the charge amount detection unit:
- controls the transport unit so that the transport speed of the recording medium becomes relatively slower;
- causes the carriage to move back and forth along the guide portion so that the liquid ejecting head begins to return at a position in which the nozzle does not overlap with the end surface of the recording medium when viewed from above;
- and
- drives a discharging mechanism that discharges a contact portion of the transport unit that comes into contact with the recording medium.
