Abstract
In the liquid ejecting apparatus, a potential controller that is capable of switching states between a same potential state where potentials at a predetermined portion at the side of the liquid ejecting unit and a predetermined portion at the side of the ejected medium supporting unit are the same and a potential difference generation state where a potential difference is generated between the predetermined portion at the side of the liquid ejecting unit and the predetermined portion at the side of the ejected medium supporting unit. The potential controller forms the same potential state while the ejected medium is transported by the ejected medium transportation unit, and the potential controller forms the potential difference generation state in at least appropriate period while the ejected medium is not transported by the ejected medium transportation unit.
