1. A liquid ejecting device comprising:
a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to a medium;
an emission unit configured to move, together with the liquid ejecting head, in a main scanning direction relative to the medium, and emit an active energy beam toward the medium; and
a control unit configured to control emission of the active energy beam from the emission unit, wherein
a non-constant velocity period represents a period in which a relative velocity of the liquid ejecting head and the emission unit in the main scanning direction relative to the medium changes,
the non-constant velocity period includes a first non-constant velocity period, and a second non-constant velocity period in which the relative velocity is faster than the relative velocity in the first non-constant velocity period,
when emitting the active energy beam at not less than an effective output, the emission unit emits the active energy beam such that an emission range in a sub-scanning direction intersecting the main scanning direction is constant,
in a case in which, in the first non-constant velocity period, the emission unit passes above the liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting head, the control unit performs control such that the active energy beam is emitted from the emission unit at not less than an effective output when a distance between the liquid ejecting head and the emission unit is a first distance, and
in a case in which, in the second non-constant velocity period, the emission unit passes above the liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting head, the control unit performs control such that the active energy beam is emitted from the emission unit at not less than an effective output when the distance between the liquid ejecting head and the emission unit is a second distance longer than the first distance, and the active energy beam is emitted from the emission unit at less than an effective output when the distance is the first distance.
