Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus including: (A) a nozzle that ejects a liquid; (B) a sensor that outputs a signal in accordance with a temperature change of the liquid; (C) a driving signal generation section that generates a driving signal for ejecting the liquid from the nozzle; (D) an inspection section that ejects the liquid of a first electrical potential by the driving signal toward a second electrode of a second electrical potential which is different from the first electrical potential by making the liquid which is ejected from the nozzle to become the first electrical potential by a first electrode, and inspecting whether the liquid ejection from the nozzle is present or not on the basis of a capacitance change between the first electrode and the second electrode; and (E) a controller that corrects the driving signal that is generated at the driving signal generation section in accordance with the liquid temperature on the basis of an output result of the sensor when the ejection is inspected, and that makes a liquid weight of a first temperature more than a liquid weight of a second temperature, in which the liquid weight of the first temperature is ejected from the nozzle when the liquid temperature is the first temperature on the basis of an output result of the sensor and the liquid weight of the second temperature is ejected from the nozzle when the liquid temperature is the second temperature that is lower than the first temperature on the basis of the output result of the sensor.
