Abstract:
1. A fluid ejecting apparatus ejecting a fluid in a set ejection area of a target, comprising: a transport unit transporting the target; a fluid ejection unit moving in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to a transport direction of the target and being capable of ejecting the fluid from a nozzle to the target; a mark detection unit moving in the perpendicular direction together with the fluid ejection unit and being capable of detecting a predetermined mark formed in the target; a before-ejecting distance acquisition unit acquiring a before-ejecting distance, which is a distance from a detection position of the predetermined mark in the transport direction to the set ejection area, based on a perpendicular-direction length of the predetermined mark when the predetermined mark having a shape where the perpendicular-direction length is increased or decreased in the transport direction is detected by the mark detection unit during the movement of the fluid ejection unit; and a control unit controlling the transport unit and the fluid ejection unit based on the acquired before-ejecting distance so that the target is transported by the transport unit and the fluid is ejected from the nozzle to the set ejection area while the fluid ejection unit moves in the perpendicular direction.
