Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a heating unit which heats a medium and supports the medium; a head which ejects liquid droplets onto the medium opposed thereto; a sensor which is mounted on the head and outputs temperature information on a temperature of the head, wherein movement of the medium toward a downstream side of the liquid ejecting apparatus positions the medium between the heating unit and the sensor; and a driving signal generating unit which generates a driving signal to be applied to the head in order to eject the liquid droplets, wherein the driving signal generated by the driving signal generating unit differs in accordance with the temperature information, and wherein the driving signal generating unit is configured to correct an amplitude of a waveform of the driving signal to generate an amplitude corrected waveform configured to eject liquid droplets based upon the temperature information of the liquid, wherein the waveform of the driving signal is corrected on the basis of the temperature information output by the sensor, and wherein, upon using the heating unit, the temperature information is corrected and the waveform of the driving signal is corrected on the basis of the corrected temperature information.
