Abstract
An abnormality determination method for a liquid ejecting head including a plurality of ejecting portions including a nozzle, a pressure chamber, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a piezoelectric body, and a liquid storage portion that communicates with each of the plurality of ejecting portions, the method including: holding a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode of a first ejecting portion at a constant voltage in a first period; supplying a drive signal for applying a pressure fluctuation to the liquid in the pressure chamber of a second ejecting portion, to one of the first electrode and the second electrode of the second ejecting portion in the first period; detecting a residual vibration of the first ejecting portion, in a second period following the first period; and determining whether or not the liquid ejecting head has an abnormality based on the residual vibration.
