Abstract (en)
A liquid ejecting apparatus (100) includes a mounting portion (300) configured to move and a liquid cartridge (10) including a liquid chamber (11) and a movable member (90), an optical detector fixed to the mounting portion (300) and having a light emitter (342B) and a light receiver (342C), and a state determiner (400) configured to determine a change in a state of the light receiver (342C). The movable member (90) is configured to move according to a position of a surface of liquid stored in the liquid chamber (11). The light receiver (342C) is configured to assume two predetermined states according to a position of a portion of the movable member (90) in the liquid chamber (11). The state determiner (400) determines that the liquid cartridge (10) is normal or abnormal according to the change in the state of the light receiver (342C).
