Patent ID: 8690279

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting head which ejects a liquid filled in a pressure chamber from nozzle openings by causing pressure fluctuation in the pressure chamber through operation of a pressure generating member; and a driving signal generating member which drives the pressure generating member to generate a driving signal having a first driving pulse which is not applied outside of flushing and is applied inside of flushing, and a second driving pulse which is applied even outside of the flushing, wherein the first driving pulse includes a first voltage variation element which varies a voltage to expand the pressure chamber, a voltage sustaining element which is produced following with the first voltage variation element and sustains the voltage in a constant value, and a second voltage variation element which is produced following with the voltage sustaining element and varies the voltage to compress the pressure chamber, and wherein according to pressure vibration which is caused by applying the first voltage variation element to the pressure generating member, the second voltage variation element is applied to the pressure generating member in a state where a meniscus of a nozzle opening is moved from the pressure chamber to an injection side.
