<p>The present invention provides an ink jet recording apparatus in which during wiping of an ink jet head surface, ink accumulation on both sides of each wiping region can be removed, thereby preventing dropping and transfer of the ink accumulation onto a recording medium, and maintaining good image quality. In the ink jet recording apparatus, a second wiping operation, separate from a normal first wiping operation, is performed for wiping a discharge element relatively moved to a position shifted by a predetermined amount from a position in the first wiping operation in a direction perpendicular to the wiping direction. <IMAGE></p> |
