Abstract
A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus includes a liquid droplet ejecting head that includes a pressure chamber to which a liquid is supplied from a liquid supply source, a nozzle that communicates with the pressure chamber, and an actuator that vibrates the pressure chamber, and discharges a liquid droplet from the nozzle by driving of the actuator, a cap designed to make a capping state where the cap is in contact with the liquid droplet ejecting head to form a space where the nozzle opens and a non-capping state where the cap is separated from the liquid droplet ejecting head, and a detection unit designed to detect a state in the pressure chamber, in which in the capping state, the detection unit detects the state in the pressure chamber.
