Abstract
A liquid discharging apparatus includes upstream side nozzle group, a downstream side nozzle group, and a transport mechanism. The downstream side nozzle group is located on a downstream side in a transport direction as compared with the upstream side nozzle group. The transport mechanism transports a medium in the transport direction to the upstream side nozzle group and to the downstream side nozzle group. The upstream side nozzle group and the downstream side nozzle group each are formed of a plurality of nozzle columns that are arranged in the transport direction. Each of the nozzle columns is formed so that a plurality of nozzles that discharge liquid are arranged in a direction that intersects with the transport direction. A transport speed varies in accordance with the number of nozzle columns used.
