Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a stage that has a support surface supporting a medium; a liquid ejecting portion that has a liquid ejecting unit ejecting a liquid to the medium which is supported by the stage; an air flow generation portion that causes a gas to flow between the liquid ejecting portion and the support surface; a flow velocity increasing portion that increases a flow velocity of the gas; and a controller that is enabled to execute a first mode in which the gas increased in the flow velocity by the flow velocity increasing portion flows between the liquid ejecting portion and the support surface, and a second mode in which the gas before being increased in the flow velocity by the flow velocity increasing portion flows between the liquid ejecting portion and the support surface, wherein the controller executes the second mode while ejecting the liquid from the liquid ejecting unit to the medium and executes the first mode while not ejecting the liquid from the liquid ejecting unit to the medium.
