Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes an ejection head including a plurality of nozzles communicating with a pressure chamber and an actuator configured to apply pressure on liquid stored in the pressure chamber, a carriage, a storage storing information relating to a first timing when a non-ejecting flashing operation is started, and a controller. The actuator applies pressure on the liquid in the pressure chamber in the non-ejecting flashing operation so as to vibrate, without ejecting, the liquid in the plurality of nozzles of the ejection head, while the carriage is decreased in speed so as to be stopped. The controller is configured to select, based on status information, one of the first timing and a second timing, and start the non-ejecting-flashing operation at the selected timing while the carriage is decreased in speed so as to be stopped.
