摘要 A head includes a nozzle face having a nozzle discharging a first liquid. A wiper contacts to the nozzle face and moves in relation to the nozzle face. An absorption member moistened by a second liquid absorbs the first liquid adhered to the wiper while moving in relation to the wiper and has a contact portion and a surface groove. The contact portion is provided on a side of an absorption face of the absorption member so as to come into contact with the wiper. The absorption face is a face on a side of the absorption member facing the wiper. The surface groove is provided on an absorption face side. The surface groove is recessed in a direction apart from the wiper than the contact portion and extends along an extending direction in which an edge on an absorption member side of the wiper extends.

主权项 1. A printer, comprising: a head provided with a nozzle face having a nozzle discharging a first liquid; a wiper configured to contact to the nozzle face and to move in relation to the nozzle face; an absorption member configured to be moistened by a second liquid, the absorption member being configured to absorb the first liquid adhered to the wiper while moving in relation to the wiper; the absorption member having a contact portion and a plurality of surface grooves; the contact portion being provided on a side of an absorption face of the absorption member so as to come into contact with the wiper, the absorption face being a face on a side of the absorption member facing the wiper; the surface grooves being provided on an absorption face side, each of the surface grooves being a groove extending along an extending direction, the extending direction being a direction in which an edge on an absorption member side of the wiper extends and a direction parallel to the nozzle face, the surface groove being recessed in a direction apart from the wiper than the contact portion, and each of the surface grooves having a length in an orthogonal direction being larger than the length of the wiper in the orthogonal direction, the orthogonal direction being orthogonal to the extending direction, the orthogonal direction being parallel to the nozzle face.
