Patent ID: 8038288

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a supporting member that supports a target transported from the upstream side; a liquid ejecting head that ejects liquid toward the target supported by the supporting member; a supporting mechanism that supports the supporting member; and a heating device that heats the supporting member, wherein the supporting mechanism includes a first supporting mechanism that positions the supporting member from the side opposite from a supporting surface which is a surface of the supporting member for supporting the target and is apart from the supporting member in the direction parallel to the supporting surface, and a second supporting mechanism that positions the supporting member from the side of the supporting surface, which is the surface of the supporting member for supporting the target and is apart from the supporting member in the direction parallel to the supporting surface, wherein the first supporting mechanism and the second supporting mechanism each include a positioning member that is able to support the supporting member, and the first supporting mechanism supports the supporting member and positions the supporting member by bringing a first positioning portion of the positioning member into contact with the supporting member, and the second supporting mechanism positions the supporting member by bringing a second positioning portion of a press-holding member supported by the positioning member via a supporting portion of the press-holding member into contact with the supporting member.
