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 11):
A method of determining a replacement necessity of a liquid droplet ejecting head of a liquid droplet ejecting apparatus which includes\n a liquid droplet ejecting head that includes a plurality of nozzles from which 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 maintenance unit that performs maintenance of the liquid droplet ejecting head, 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, the method comprising: determining that replacement of the liquid droplet ejecting head is necessary in a case in which at least any one of an abnormality of the state inside the pressure chamber and an abnormality of the ejection state are detected by the detecting section predetermined number of times after the maintenance operation.
