Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus which is able to be mounted with a cartridge which is provided with a memory device which stores liquid usage information relating to a consumption amount or a remaining amount of liquid accommodated in the cartridge and a unique ID which uniquely distinguishes the cartridge. A control section executes a fault countermeasure process in relation to the memory device of the cartridge in a case where the relationship between a first liquid consumption amount obtained from the liquid usage information stored in the memory device of the cartridge mounted in the liquid ejecting apparatus and a second liquid consumption amount obtained from the liquid usage information stored in the non-volatile memory with regard to the cartridge is outside of a permitted range set in advance.
