Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a movable head with nozzles that eject a liquid; a transport unit that transports a medium in a transporting direction; and a sensor that detects an edge of the medium and that is movable with the head. Ejection of liquid from the nozzles is controlled based on the sensor detection result. The transport roller transports the medium in a slanted manner toward a surface of a platen, and after the medium's front edge contacts the platen, the medium bends on the platen with the front edge of the medium moving along the surface of the platen toward a paper discharge roller. Relative to the transporting direction, the sensor is positioned upstream of the most upstream nozzle and downstream of a position at which the front edge of the medium first comes into contact with the platen.

Abstract: A pump member is cyclically moved to apply an air pressure to a liquid supply source to thereby supply liquid stored therein to a reservoir member. A driving source is driven in accordance with control information to move the pump member. A position sensor senses a position of the pump member. A first storage stores target information indicative of a target driving speed of the driving source. A first calculator obtains drive information indicative of an actual driving speed of the driving source based on the sensed position of the pump member. A second calculator obtains a difference between the target driving speed and the actual driving speed, and obtains correction information for reducing the difference. A corrector corrects the control information with the correction information.

Abstract: A liquid ejection head is operable to eject a liquid droplet toward a target position. A transporter transports a first target medium toward the target position in a first direction. A guide member has a guide face along which a tray member on which a second target medium is mounted is fed toward the target position in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. The guide member is pivotable between a first position for closing the guide face and a second position for opening the guide face to support the tray member. A first sensor detects that the guide member is placed in either one of the first position and the second position. A controller disables the transporter from transporting the first target medium when the first sensor detects that the guide member is placed in the second position.
