<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid ejection device whose cleaning time for performing operations of wiping and flushing its ejection nozzle surface is short. <P>SOLUTION: A cylindrical member 40 is rotated with its protrusions 42 get in touch with the ejection nozzle surface 300 for wiping off ink 50 or dirt attached to the ejection nozzle surface 300. It is further rotated and its depressions 43 between its protrusions 42 receive ink 51 by ejecting ink 51 from ejection nozzles 32 to the depressions 43. In this manner, wiping and flushing of the ejection nozzle surface 300 can be done only by rotating operations of the cylindrical member 40 and the cleaning time can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
