Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a prescribed liquid from being mixed in each nozzle array when a nozzle surface of a liquid ejecting head is cleaned.
SOLUTION: This liquid ejector comprises: a liquid ejecting head (20) wherein a plurality of liquid ejecting nozzles (23) drilled in an array in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle surface 22 are formed in a plurality of arrays in a short-side direction; a cleaning member (24) which is provided in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle surface of the liquid ejecting head so as to wipe the nozzle surface; and a moving means (21) for relatively moving the cleaning member and the nozzle surface by bringing the cleaning member into contact with nozzle surface. The cleaning members (24) are each provided in such a manner as to correspond to each nozzle array among the plurality of arrays of liquid ejecting nozzles (23y-23k). The moving means (21) makes the respective cleaning members (24y-24k) correspond to the respective nozzle arrays (23y-23k) of the liquid ejecting head, and drives the cleaning members (24y-24k) so that only a nozzle surface area, wherein the nozzle array is positioned, can be cleaned.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly detect a remaining amount of ink in an ink tank in a printer which discharges the ink. SOLUTION: The ink tank 11 filled with the ink 4 is set at a setting part 32 of a head cartridge 21. An ink supply part 13 of the ink tank 11 and a connection supply part 37 in the setting part 32 are connected to each other, whereby the ink 4 is supplied from the connection supply part 37 to a head chip 41. The presence/absence of the ink 4 is detected by detecting a change of an electrical resistance value between ink detecting parts 38 and 39 which detect the presence/absence of the ink 4 supplied to the connection supply part 37.
