<p>A printer in which an inkjet recording head (B305) is scanned with relation to a printing medium includes an ink supply member (B402Y, B402M, B402C) to be connected with a reserving portion (B304Y, B304M, B304C) arranged within the recording head when the inkjet recording head is positioned at the end portion of a scanning area, and a suction member (B403) for functioning a suction power in introducing inks from the ink supply member to the reserving portion. Associating with a movement of the inkjet recording head to the end portion, those members are connected to the inkjet recording head in delaying the time. Herewith, in comparison with the case where those members are connected to the inkjet recording head at the same time, a force for moving the inkjet recording head required to such connection is reduced to achieve a down sizing of a driving source for generating the movement. <IMAGE></p> |
