Abstract:
A control method of a liquid ejecting apparatus is provided. The liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head for ejecting a liquid in an inner-space thereof through a nozzle, an inflow-channel for flowing the liquid into the inner space, an outflow-channel for flowing the liquid out of the inner space, and a valve for the inflow-channel. The control method includes first control of opening the inflow-channel by opening the valve in accordance with a negative pressure on a downstream side of the valve to generate a liquid flow from the inflow-channel to the outflow-channel, second control of opening the inflow-channel by opening the valve by an external force to generate the liquid flow from the inflow-channel to the outflow-channel, and performing the second control, in accordance with a flow amount of the liquid flow, to open the valve under the first control.

Claim (Index 10):
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:\n a liquid ejecting head that has an inner space through which a liquid flows and that is configured to eject the liquid in the inner space through a nozzle; an inflow channel for flowing the liquid into the inner space; an outflow channel for flowing the liquid out of the inner space; and a valve that is configured to open and close the inflow channel, wherein the liquid ejecting apparatus performs first control of opening the inflow channel by opening the valve in accordance with a negative pressure on a downstream side of the valve to generate a liquid flow from the inflow channel to the outflow channel through the inner space and second control of opening the inflow channel by opening the valve by an external force to generate the liquid flow from the inflow channel to the outflow channel through the inner space, and wherein the liquid ejecting apparatus performs the second control, in accordance with a flow amount of the liquid flow, to open the valve under the first control.
