Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a pressure generating chamber which is used for discharging a liquid in the pressure generating chamber through a nozzle by driving a driving element; a manifold which supplies a liquid to the pressure generating chamber; a discharge unit which discharges a liquid in the pressure generating chamber through the nozzle. Mode 1 is a mode in which air is drawn into the pressure generating chamber through the nozzle due to the operation of the discharge unit, and Mode 2 is a mode which drives the driving element such that air is not drawn into the pressure generating chamber through the nozzle due to the driving of the driving element.
