Recording apparatus and controller used in recording apparatus

摘要

A recording apparatus comprises a conveyor, a head including an ejection surface, a UV irradiator positioned downstream of the head in a conveyance direction, a wiper, a first shading member, and first and second controllers. The first shading member is movable in a cross direction crossing the ejection surface, and shades an opposed space being opposed to the ejection surface from ultraviolet light applied by the UV irradiator in a state where the first shading member is taking a protruding position. The first controller controls the first shading member to take the protruding position. The second controller controls the wiper to move relatively to the ejection surface while causing the wiper to contact the ejection surface in a state where the wiper is positioned in the opposed space and the first shading member is taking the protruding position, when the wiping is performed.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a conveyor which conveys a recording medium in a conveyance direction; a head including an ejection surface at which a plurality of ejection openings are formed from which openings liquid curable by irradiation of ultraviolet light is ejected to the recording medium; an opposed member including an opposed surface which is opposed to the ejection surface; a UV irradiator which is positioned downstream of the head in the conveyance direction and applies ultraviolet light to the recording medium; a wiper which is movable relatively to the ejection surface while contacting the ejection surface and performs wiping in which foreign matter attached to the ejection surface is wiped out; a first shading member which is movable in a cross direction crossing the ejection surface, and shades an opposed space, which is opposed to the ejection surface, from ultraviolet light applied by the UV irradiator in a state where the first shading member is taking a protruding position, the first shading member in the protruding position disposed around the ejection surface without being opposed to the ejection surface and between the ejection surface and the UV irradiator and protruding from the ejection surface toward the opposed space in the cross direction; a second shading member which is interposed between the first shading member and the opposed member when the first shading member is in the protruding position and the opposed member is in a non-opposed position where the opposed member is not opposed to the ejection surface in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the ejection surface; a first controller which controls the first shading member to take the protruding position; and a second controller which controls the wiper to move relatively to the ejection surface while causing the wiper to contact the ejection surface in a state where the wiper is positioned in the opposed space and the first shading member is taking the protruding position, when the wiping is performed.
