Original Abstract Submitted

A drive unit is located on an opposite side in relation to an ejecting orifice of a liquid ejecting head unit. The drive unit includes a first board including a first connector coupled to a head connector of the liquid ejecting head unit; and a second board on which a drive circuit configured to generate a drive signal is mounted. The second board is disposed in an upright position with respect to the first board by being B-to-B coupled to the first board, and the drive signal is supplied from the second board to the first connector via the first board.
