Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head, a mounting mechanism including a downstream flow path, a cartridge including an upstream flow path to be communicably connected to the downstream flow path when the cartridge is attached to the mounting mechanism and an annular projection, and configured to be mounted on the mounting mechanism by being made to pivot, a carriage that reciprocates in a predetermined stroke region carrying thereon the liquid ejecting head and the mounting mechanism, a liquid supply tube connecting between a liquid tank located outside the stroke region and the upstream flow path, and an elastic member of an annular shape having a larger outer diameter than that of the annular projection and a smaller inner diameter than that of the annular projection and disposed to surround a liquid introduction path, the elastic member including an abutment portion.
