Abstract: A waste liquid container includes a fitted portion, in which a discharge unit is fittable in a removable manner, a container connection terminal, which contacts a device connection terminal, an insertion restriction portion, which contacts a device contact portion and restricts movement of the waste liquid container in the insertion direction, and an engaged portion, which includes a contacted portion that contacts a removal restriction unit and restricts movement of the waste liquid container in the removal direction. The engaged portion is located toward an inner side in the lateral direction from a side wall at a position lower than both of the container connection terminal and the insertion restriction portion. The removal restriction unit is receivable in a region located toward an outer side in the lateral direction from the engaged portion.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a wiping portion which wipes a nozzle forming surface by relatively moving in a main scanning direction with respect to a recording head; and a controller which moves at least one of the recording head and the wiping member. The controller selects and performs at least one of first wiping processing for wiping the nozzle forming surface until the wiping portion is separated from the nozzle forming surface in the main scanning direction, and second wiping processing for separating the wiping portion from the nozzle forming surface in a retracting direction different from the main scanning direction after wiping the nozzle forming surface until the wiping portion comes into contact with a defined position of the nozzle forming surface.
