Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid chamber in communication with a nozzle, a volume changing unit configured to change a volume of the liquid chamber, an inflow passage through which the liquid flows into the liquid chamber, an outflow passage through which the liquid flows out of the liquid chamber, a passage resistance changing unit configured to change a passage resistance of the outflow passage, and a controller configured to control the volume changing unit to reduce the volume of the liquid chamber so as to cause the liquid to be ejected through the nozzle. In filling the liquid chamber with the liquid for ejection of the liquid through the nozzle, the controller controls the passage resistance changing unit to change the passage resistance of the outflow passage to an increased passage resistance and controls the volume changing unit to increase the volume of the liquid chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising:\n a liquid chamber in communication with a nozzle through which liquid is to be ejected; a volume changing unit configured to change a volume of the liquid chamber, an inflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid flows into the liquid chamber, an outflow passage which is connected to the liquid chamber and through which the liquid flows out of the liquid chamber, a liquid supplying unit configured to supply the liquid to the inflow passage, a passage resistance changing unit configured to change a passage resistance of the outflow passage, and a controller configured to control the volume changing unit to reduce the volume of the liquid chamber so as to cause the liquid to be ejected through the nozzle, wherein in filling the liquid chamber with the liquid for ejection of the liquid through the nozzle, the controller performs first control of controlling the passage resistance changing unit to change the passage resistance of the outflow passage to an increased passage resistance and controlling the volume changing unit to increase the volume of the liquid chamber.
