Abstract

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting head including an ejecting surface configured to eject a liquid; a tank that reserves the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejecting head; a circulating mechanism that executes a circulating operation to circulate the liquid between the liquid ejecting head and the tank; and a control unit that controls the circulating mechanism. The control unit executes a recording operation by the liquid ejecting head in a first posture in which the ejecting surface crosses a horizontal plane and executes the circulating operation in a second posture in which an angle made by the ejecting surface and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle in the first posture.
