Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: an apparatus main body; a plurality of liquid ejecting heads that have a nozzle-formed surface; a unit base to which the plurality of liquid ejecting heads are fixed; and a lifting-lowering mechanism that is fixed to the apparatus main body and causes a position of the nozzle-formed surface to be shifted with respect to the apparatus main body. The lifting-lowering mechanisms are disposed in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of liquid ejecting heads are aligned, in an in-plane direction of the nozzle-formed surface.
