Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a head that ejects an ink from a nozzle opening; a moving unit that moves the head; and a heating unit that sets a temperature of a recording sheet onto which the ink is ejected from the head. Before the head ejects the ink onto the recording sheet, the moving unit is moved, and the head is moved to a position opposing a platen and an upper heater, which is a position to where heat radiated from the heating unit is transferred.
Claims15
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid from a nozzle opening;
- a moving unit that relatively moves the liquid ejecting head;
- a temperature setting unit that has a support member supporting a recording medium onto which the liquid is ejected from the liquid ejecting head, and that sets a temperature of the support member or the recording medium supported by the support member;
- and
- a controller that drives the moving unit before the liquid ejecting head ejects the liquid onto the recording medium, that moves the liquid ejecting head to a temperature setting position where heat radiated from the temperature setting unit is transferred to the liquid ejecting head, and that uses the temperature setting unit so as to perform temperature setting on the liquid ejecting head.
