Abstract

An ejecting head ejects liquid material to a part to be ejected from a first nozzle during a first san period and from a second nozzle during a second scan period. A scanning unit relatively moves at least one of the ejecting head and a stage in the X-axis direction with respect to the other between the first scan period and the second scan period.
