Liquid ejecting apparatus
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that includes a nozzle formation surface on which a plurality of nozzles which eject a liquid are formed to be lined up in one direction to form nozzle columns, a belt-shaped member that is brought into contact with the nozzle formation surface, and a belt-shaped member contact portion that brings the belt-shaped member into contact with the nozzle formation surface in both a first contact state where the belt-shaped member is brought into contact with a partial area of the nozzle formation surface and a second contact state where the belt-shaped member is in contact with an area corresponding to the nozzle column in a direction along the nozzle column on the nozzle formation surface.
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
a liquid ejecting head that includes a nozzle formation surface on which a plurality of nozzles which eject a liquid to an ejection target medium which is transported are formed to be lined up in one direction to form nozzle columns;
a belt-shaped member that is provided to be capable of being in contact with the nozzle formation surface and to be brought into contact with the nozzle formation surface so as to be capable of capturing the liquid from the nozzle formation surface; and
a belt-shaped member contact portion that brings the belt-shaped member into contact with the nozzle formation surface in both a first contact state where the belt-shaped member is brought into contact with a partial area of the nozzle formation surface and a second contact state where the belt-shaped member is in contact with an area corresponding to the nozzle column in a direction along the nozzle column on the nozzle formation surface by moving the belt-shaped member from a separation position where the belt-shaped member is not in contact with the nozzle formation surface.
2. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the belt-shaped member contact portion includes a contact member that is in contact with the belt-shaped member from the side opposite to a side on which the nozzle formation surface is in contact with the belt-shaped member so that the belt-shaped member is in contact with the nozzle formation surface in either one of the first contact state and the second contact state.
3. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the belt-shaped member contact portion further includes a contact member moving unit that relatively moves a contact member along the nozzle formation surface with respect to the belt-shaped member.
4. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the belt-shaped member contact portion includes a relative movement unit that relatively moves the belt-shaped member with respect to the nozzle formation surface in a state where the belt-shaped member is in contact with the nozzle formation surface.
5. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the relative movement unit has a belt-shaped member moving unit that moves the belt-shaped member in the direction along the nozzle column.
6. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the relative movement unit has a liquid ejecting head moving unit that moves the liquid ejecting head in the direction crossing the direction in which the ejection target medium is transported.
7. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the liquid ejecting head is moved by the liquid ejecting head moving unit and the belt-shaped member is moved by the belt-shaped member moving unit in the direction crossing the direction of movement of the liquid ejecting head by the liquid ejecting head moving unit in the relative movement unit.
