Abstract:
A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus includes a liquid droplet ejecting head that includes a plurality of nozzles from which a liquid supplied from a liquid supply source through a liquid supply path is ejected as a liquid droplet, and ejects the liquid droplet from the nozzle to a recording medium to perform a recording process, a first detecting section that detects a vibration waveform of the pressure chamber, which is vibrated when an actuator is driven to cause the pressure chamber communicating with the nozzle to vibrate, to detect a state inside the pressure chamber, and a second detecting section that reads a pattern formed on the recording medium by ejecting the liquid droplet from the nozzle to detect an ejection state of the liquid droplet.

Claim (Index 6):
The liquid droplet ejecting apparatus according to  claim 5 ,\n wherein the maintenance unit includes a moisturizing cap, which includes a cap section that comes into contact with the liquid droplet ejecting head and closes a space which the nozzle faces and an air communicating section through which the space communicates with air, and causes the cap section to close the space as the maintenance operation, wherein the first detecting section detects the vibration waveform of the pressure chamber before the cap section closes the space, and detects the vibration waveform of the pressure chamber after the cap section which closes the space opens the space, and wherein the determination section determines that the air communicating section malfunctions in a case in which a change of the state inside the pressure chamber means an increase of bubbles inside the pressure chamber.
