Abstract:
1. A droplet ejecting device comprising: a droplet ejecting head having a droplet ejecting surface formed with droplet ejecting openings that eject liquid droplets; a channel member configured to be tilted together with the droplet ejecting head, the channel member being formed with a liquid supplying channel including a liquid storing chamber and a communication channel in communication with each other via a connection section, an upper section of the liquid storing chamber being in communication with the communication channel via the connection section, the liquid storing chamber being in communication with the droplet ejecting head via the communication channel; a cap member configured to be movable between: a cap drive section that drives the cap member to move between the standby position and the capping position, wherein, when the cap drive section drives the cap member to move to the capping position, the cap member presses the droplet ejecting head, and the channel member is tilted together with the droplet ejecting head in such a manner that the connection section is located at a position higher than the liquid storing chamber when the droplet ejecting device is placed in an orientation in which the droplet ejecting device is intended to be used.
