Liquid ejecting apparatus and maintenance method of liquid ejecting apparatus

Abstract

A printer includes an ink ejecting section that ejects ink from a nozzle, an ink circulation path including an ink flow path through which the ink can be supplied to an ink ejecting section and an ink return path through which the ink supplied to the ink ejecting section is returned, a warming device including a temperature control module provided in the ink circulation path, where the warming device can heat the ink in the temperature control module, and a feed pump that can flow the ink in the ink circulation path, wherein the flow rate of the ink, in the ink circulation path, heated by the warming device is adjusted.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
 a liquid storing portion that stores liquid;   a liquid ejecting head configured to eject the liquid supplied from the liquid storing portion;   a supply flow path configured to connect the liquid storing portion and the liquid ejecting head;   a degassing portion configured to degas the liquid flowing through the supply flow path; and   a temperature control portion configured to control a temperature of the liquid flowing through the supply flow path; wherein   the temperature control portion is disposed between the liquid storing portion and the degassing portion in the supply flow path.   
     
     
         2 . The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a temperature detecting portion configured to detect a temperature of the liquid supplied to the liquid ejecting portion.   
     
     
         3 . The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the temperature detecting portion is disposed on the liquid ejecting head.   
     
     
         4 . The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a collection flow path for returning the liquid from the liquid ejecting portion to the liquid storing portion.   
     
     
         5 . The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the liquid is circulated in a circulation flow path including the storing portion, the supply flow path, the liquid ejecting head, and the collection flow path.   
     
     
         6 . The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the liquid ejecting head includes an ejecting portion flow path that communicates the supply flow path and the collection flow path, and an ejecting portion that ejects the liquid, and   the circulation flow path includes the ejecting portion flow path.   
     
     
         7 . A control method of a liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid storing portion that stores liquid,
 a liquid ejecting head configured to eject the liquid supplied from the liquid storing portion,   a supply flow path configured to connect the liquid storing portion and the liquid ejecting head,   a degassing portion configured to degas the liquid flowing through the supply flow path; and   a temperature control portion configured to control a temperature of the liquid flowing through the supply flow path,   the control method comprising:   controlling a temperature of the liquid flowing through the supply flow path, and   degassing the liquid flowing through the supply flow path after controlling the temperature of the liquid.
