Abstract

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a first passage through which liquid flows from a tank to liquid ejecting heads; and a second passage through which liquid flows from the heads to the tank. The first passage includes a third passage connecting to the tank, a fourth passage branching from the third passage at a first position to allow the third passage to communicate with a first head, and a fifth passage branching from the third passage at a second position to allow the third passage to communicate with a second head. The lengths, cross-sectional areas, and resistances of various passages are set relative to others.
