Claim 18:
19. A liquid ejecting device comprising:
a printing unit including a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to a medium, and a head holder configured to form an air cooling path; and
a cooling mechanism configured to cause air in the air cooling path to flow therethrough to air-cool the liquid ejecting head, wherein
the printing unit is provided so as to be movable with respect to a transport path along which the medium is transported,
the cooling mechanism includes a first air hole and a second air hole that are configured to be coupled to the air cooling path,
the air cooling path is coupled to one of the first air hole and the second air hole corresponding to a position of the printing unit,
the cooling mechanism includes:
a duct in which the first air hole and the second air hole are formed; and
a shutter configured to close the first air hole and the second air hole, and
when the first air hole is coupled to the air cooling path, the shutter closes the second air hole, and when the second air hole is coupled to the air cooling path, the shutter closes the first air hole.
