During at least one of a period in which the suction capmoves from the contact position to a separating position being separated from the liquid ejecting head and a period in which the suction capmoves from the separating position to the contact position, the rotations of the third gearin both directions of one direction and the other direction are transmitted to the third rotation shaft J
