Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting head that ejects liquid onto a medium, comprising: a heater having a heating surface which also serves as a transportation surface of the medium, the heater being disposed downstream to the liquid ejecting head in a transportation direction of the medium; a rotatable upstream roller that is disposed at a position opposite the heating surface with respect to a transportation path of the medium; a rotatable downstream roller that is disposed at a position downstream to the upstream roller in the transportation direction and opposite the heating surface with respect to the transportation path of the medium, wherein a distance between the upstream roller and the heating surface and a distance between the downstream roller and the heating surface are different; and a pair of transportation rollers that transports the medium is disposed between the liquid ejecting head and the upstream roller in the transportation direction, rotation of the pair of transportation rollers driving rotation of a shaft supporting the rotatable downstream roller and movement of the medium driving rotation of the rotatable upstream roller.
