Abstract:
1. A liquid supply device that supplies liquid to a liquid ejecting portion which ejects the liquid, comprising: a liquid storage portion that stores the liquid containing sedimenting components which are sedimented in solvent; a liquid supply path that extends from the liquid storage portion to the liquid ejecting portion and through which the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejecting portion can flow; a circulation flow path that has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are connected to the liquid supply path; a liquid flowing portion that is operated to cause the liquid to flow through at least part of the liquid supply path and the circulation flow path; a temperature detection portion that can detect the temperature of at least part of the liquid in the liquid supply path; and an operation control portion that controls an operation of the liquid flowing portion in correspondence with a detected temperature of the liquid, which is detected by the temperature detection portion, such that a flow condition of the liquid in the liquid supply path changes.
