Patent ID: 8439479

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting unit that ejects liquid toward a target ejection medium; a target ejection medium support member that is disposed so as to oppose the liquid ejecting unit and supports the target ejection medium; a conductive shielding member that covers a first side of the target ejection medium without contacting the target ejection medium so as to not influence the transportation of the target ejection medium, which opposes the liquid ejecting unit, at an edge area including an edge perpendicular to a feeding direction of the target ejection medium; and a target ejection medium transportation unit that is disposed upstream from the liquid ejecting unit, wherein the conductive shielding member is disposed in the feeding direction of the target ejection medium between the liquid ejecting unit and the target ejection medium transportation unit, wherein the target ejection medium transportation unit includes: a roller configured to rotate while being in contact with the first side of the target ejection medium; and a cover member that covers an outer peripheral surface of the roller, and wherein the conductive shielding member is mounted on the cover member.
