Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a drive signal generation circuit generating a drive waveform signal, a liquid ejecting head including a vibration plate, a drive element displacing the vibration plate by being supplied with the drive waveform signal, a cavity that is filled with a liquid and of which an internal pressure changes by the displacement of the vibration plate, and a nozzle that communicates with the cavity and that ejects the liquid by the change in internal pressure of the cavity, and an ejecting malfunction detection circuit that detects, specifies a cause of the ejecting malfunction based on the residual vibration signal. The ejecting malfunction detection circuit includes a detection unit detecting the residual vibration signal, an obtaining unit obtaining information indicating an ejecting state of the liquid ejected from the nozzle, and a learning unit machine learning a relationship between the residual vibration signal and the ejecting state.
