INKJET RECORDING DEVICE AND NOZZLE SURFACE WIPING METHOD FOR AN INKJET RECORDING DEVICE

摘要

An inkjet printer has a cap that covers the ink nozzle surface in which ink nozzles are formed when the inkjet head is at a inkjet head standby position; an ink absorber that is held inside the cap and absorbs ink ejected from the ink nozzles into the cap; a water discharge head that seals the cap with a water nozzle surface in which water nozzles are formed when the inkjet head is at the printing position; and a suction pump for discharging water from the water discharge head when the water discharge head seals the cap.

主权项

1. An ink nozzle surface wiping method using a wiper blade, the method comprising:
covering an ink nozzle surface of an inkjet head in which the ink nozzle is formed, when the inkjet head is in the standby position; sealing a cap using a cap sealing member, the cap sealing member having a liquid nozzle surface, when the inkjet head is in the printing position; discharging a moisturizing liquid from a liquid nozzle and moisturizing an ink absorber when the cap is sealed; and wiping the liquid nozzle surface using the wiper blade.
