Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head disposed on a transport path of a target to eject a liquid from nozzles at a nozzle forming surface, a target transport unit transporting the target such that the target passes through a position opposite the nozzle forming surface on the transport path, and a liquid receptor transport unit transporting a liquid receptor for receiving the liquid ejected from the nozzles as a waste liquid such that the liquid receptor passes through the position opposite the nozzle forming surface on the transport path. With rotation of the target transport unit, a mechanism unit including a target transport member for transporting the target in a transport direction is able to be attached and detached at a position out of a mechanism portion of the liquid receptor transport unit with respect to the liquid ejecting apparatus.
