Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head which includes a manifold; a first flow path and a second flow path which are connected to the manifold; a switching unit which switches a communication state between a liquid storage unit and the respective first and second flow paths; a pressure regulating unit which includes a valve which is open due to negative pressure on the manifold side of the first flow path; and a control unit which controls the switching unit, in which the control unit is capable of performing switching between a first mode in which liquid is supplied to the manifold through the valve and a second mode in which liquid is supplied to the manifold without going through the valve.
