The present invention provides a nozzle face wiping device and image recording device that can switch whether to wipe out a nozzle face by a simple mechanism. One mode of the present invention is a nozzle face wiping device that includes: a long wiping web 110 that wipes out the nozzle face 33; wiping web running drive means for running the wiping web 110 along the longitudinal direction; a pressure roller 118 that presses and contacts the wiping web 110 to the nozzle face 33; a spring 156 that gives force to press the wiping web 110 to the nozzle face 33 through the pressure roller 118; and tension giving means for giving tension to the wiping web 110 by making the running speed on the downstream side of the wiping web 110 with respect to the pressure roller 118 faster than the running speed on the upstream side, and moving the pressure roller 118 in a direction against the biasing force of the spring 156, where whether to wipe out the nozzle face is switched by giving the tension, and an image recording device including this. |
