A liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising: a liquid chamber in communication with a nozzle through which liquid is to be ejected; a volume changing unit configured to change a volume of the liquid chamber, an inflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid can flow into the liquid chamber, an outflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid can flow out of the liquid chamber, a liquid supplying unit (20, 70) configured to supply the liquid to the inflow passage, a passage resistance changing unit configured to change a passage resistance of the outflow passage, and a controller configured to control the volume changing unit to reduce the volume of the liquid chamber so as to cause the liquid to be ejected through the nozzle, characterised in that the controller is configured to perform first control of controlling the passage resistance changing unit to change the passage resistance of the outflow passage to an increased passage resistance and controlling the volume changing unit to increase the volume of the liquid chamber when the liquid supplying unit (20, 70) is supplying the liquid to the inflow passage to fill the liquid chamber with the liquid, and the controller is configured to operate in a standby state in a standby period, wherein in the standby state the controller is configured to control the volume changing unit to set the volume of the liquid chamber to a prescribed intermediate volume between a minimum volume and a maximum volume of the liquid chamber, and in the standby state the controller is configured to control the passage resistance changing unit to set the passage resistance of the outflow passage to a minimum value. a liquid chamber in communication with a nozzle through which liquid is to be ejected; a volume changing unit configured to change a volume of the liquid chamber, an inflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid can flow into the liquid chamber, an outflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid can flow out of the liquid chamber, a liquid supplying unit (20, 70) configured to supply the liquid to the inflow passage, a passage resistance changing unit configured to change a passage resistance of the outflow passage, and a controller configured to control the volume changing unit to reduce the volume of the liquid chamber so as to cause the liquid to be ejected through the nozzle, characterised in that the controller is configured to perform first control of controlling the passage resistance changing unit to change the passage resistance of the outflow passage to an increased passage resistance and controlling the volume changing unit to increase the volume of the liquid chamber when the liquid supplying unit (20, 70) is supplying the liquid to the inflow passage to fill the liquid chamber with the liquid, and the controller is configured to operate in a standby state in a standby period, wherein in the standby state the controller is configured to control the volume changing unit to set the volume of the liquid chamber to a prescribed intermediate volume between a minimum volume and a maximum volume of the liquid chamber, and in the standby state the controller is configured to control the passage resistance changing unit to set the passage resistance of the outflow passage to a minimum value.
