1. A liquid ejecting device, comprising:
an ejecting unit configured to eject liquid onto a medium transported by a transport unit to form an image;
a hole forming unit configured to form a plurality of through holes, arranged in a width direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium;
an operation unit; and
a control unit configured to control ejection of the liquid based on image data, wherein
the control unit divides a region in the medium, configured to be formed with an image based on the image data, into a first region, and a second region that is aligned with the first region in the transport direction and in which the plurality of through holes are formed, causes the ejecting unit to eject the liquid, based on the image data, in the first region to form a part of the image, and causes the ejecting unit not to eject the liquid in the second region,
the control unit performs division into the first region and the second region so that a dimension in the transport direction of the second region is a set dimension set through the operation unit,
the operation unit is configured to enable setting of a dimension in the transport direction of the second region and configured to enable selection of whether to shift the position of the image in the transport direction, and
the control unit causes the ejecting unit to eject the liquid so that the position of the image formed in the first region is shifted by the set dimension.
