Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting head that relatively moves in a first direction with regard to a discharged medium, and discharges liquid with regard to the discharged medium; a transport section that relatively transports the discharged medium in a second direction with regard to the liquid ejecting head; an adsorption section that adsorbs a surface of the discharged medium, which is opposite to the liquid ejecting head; and a control section that performs control such that the adsorption section performs absorption when the liquid ejecting head discharges the liquid with regard to the discharged medium and such that adsorption force is caused to be weak compared to a case in which the liquid is discharged when the discharged medium is relatively transported in the second direction by the transport section; wherein, when the liquid ejecting head discharges the liquid with regard to the discharged medium, the control section controls the adsorption section such that the adsorption section performs adsorption in a region of the discharged medium, which faces the liquid ejecting head and such that the adsorption force is caused to be weak in a region of the discharged medium which does not face the liquid ejecting head compared to a case in which the region faces the liquid ejecting head.
