A fluid ejecting apparatus includes a fluid ejecting head in which nozzles are formed on a nozzle forming surface and corresponding maintenance devices. A supporting member supports each of the maintenance devices in a disposition state that corresponds to the fluid ejecting head. A simultaneous transfer mechanism moves the supporting member between a maintenance position, which is a position state where each of the maintenance devices approaches the corresponding fluid ejecting head, and a retracted position, which is a position state where each of the maintenance devices is separated from the corresponding fluid ejecting head. An individual transfer mechanism individually moves each of the maintenance devices on the supporting member, for each of a plurality of maintenance device groups including at least one maintenance device, along approaching and separating directions with respect to the fluid ejecting head that corresponds to the maintenance device included in the maintenance device group.
