PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a wiper to surely wipe off ink adhered to a nozzle surface while preventing a recording medium from contacting the nozzle face.SOLUTION: A plate spring 31 provided on a lower face 22a of a flow path forming body 22 which forms a lower face of an inkjet head is bent downward in a conveyance direction so that a part of the spring is positioned below a nozzle face 21a. When recording paper P bent upward approaches the nozzle face 21a in a scanning direction, a bent part of the recording paper P contacts an end part 31b in the scanning direction of the plate spring 31, which prevents the recording paper P from contacting the nozzle face 21a. A wiper 6 is moved in a conveyance direction so that when wiping off ink adhered to the nozzle face 21a, a lower face 31a of the plate spring 31 is pressed by the wiper 6 toward the conveyance direction and then the plate spring 31 is deflected and deformed. This causes a part positioned below the nozzle face 21a of the plate spring 31 to be displaced upward. |
