Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting head, comprising: an adjuster, operable to adjust a distance between the nozzle formation face and the target medium so as to be at least a first distance and a second distance that is longer than the first distance; a driving signal generator, operable to generate a driving signal that includes: a pulse supplier, operable to selectively supply the first pulse and the second pulse to the pressure generator, wherein the first pulse is configured such that the first ejecting element is applied to the pressure generator when a meniscus of the liquid is located at a first position that is closer to the pressure chamber than a reference position after the first expansion element is applied to the pressure generator, the second pulse is configured such that the second ejecting element is applied to the pressure generator when the meniscus is located at a second position that is farther from the pressure chamber than the first position after the second expansion element is applied to the pressure generator, and the pulse supplier, in order to eject the liquid droplet having the prescribed volume, selects the first pulse when the distance is the first distance, and selects the second pulse when the distance is the second distance.
