Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: at least one first-tank mount section configured so that at least one first tank storing liquid is mounted thereon; a plurality of second tanks; at least one liquid ejecting head elongated in a predetermined direction, the at least one liquid ejecting head having an ejection surface formed with a plurality of ejection ports configured to eject liquid; a supporting section disposed in confrontation with the ejection surface and configured to support a recording medium; a first casing holding the at least one liquid ejecting head and the plurality of second tanks; and a second casing holding the supporting section, wherein the first casing is coupled to the second casing in such a manner that the first casing is movable relative to the second casing by pivotally moving about a pivotal axis that extends in the predetermined direction, the first casing being configured to take a first position at which the ejection surface confronts the supporting section and a second position at which the ejection surface is farther spaced away from the supporting section than at the first position; wherein the plurality of second tanks is connected to the at least one first-tank mount section so that each of the plurality of second tanks is supplied with liquid stored in a corresponding one of the at least one first tank in a state where the at least one first tank is mounted on the at least one first-tank mount section; wherein one of the at least one liquid ejecting head is connected to at least two of the plurality of second tanks so that liquid stored in each of the at least two of the plurality of second tanks is supplied to the one of the at least one liquid ejecting head; and wherein at least two of the plurality of second tanks connected to the one of the at least one liquid ejecting head are arranged in such a manner that there is at least one second tank at each side of the one of the at least one liquid ejecting head with respect to the predetermined direction.
