Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid to a medium transported along a transport path, a suction mechanism that sucks an interior of the liquid ejecting head, an atmospheric pressure detection unit that has a vent for communication with an atmosphere and that detects atmospheric pressure, and a control unit that controls operation of the suction mechanism on the basis of a value of atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure detection unit. The atmospheric pressure detection unit is disposed at a location that is outside the transport path and that is higher than the transport path.
