发明名称 RECORDING APPARATUS
摘要 A recording apparatus includes a transportation mechanism that supports and transports a recording medium by a support surface; a recording head that is disposed in a region facing the support surface and is capable of ejecting an ink from a nozzle provided on an ink ejection surface to the recording medium; a suction unit that is capable of sucking the ink inside the nozzle; and a wiping unit that is provided as a separate body from the suction unit and is capable of wiping the ink ejection surface. The recording head is moved in a direction to be separated from the support surface when sucking the ink inside the nozzle. The suction unit is moved to a suction position facing the ink ejection surface of the recording head. The suction unit is moved below the recording head when wiping the ink ejection surface.

主权项 1. A recording apparatus comprising: a transportation mechanism that supports and transports a recording medium by a support surface; a recording head that is disposed in a region facing the support surface and is capable of ejecting an ink from a nozzle provided on an ink ejection surface to the recording medium; a suction unit that is capable of sucking the ink inside the nozzle; a wiping unit that is provided as a separate body from the suction unit and is capable of wiping the ink ejection surface; a first movement mechanism that is capable of moving in a direction in which the recording head approaches and is separated away from the support surface; a second movement mechanism that is capable of moving the suction unit; and a control unit that controls a movement operation of the first movement mechanism and the second movement mechanism, wherein the control unit moves the recording head in the direction in which the recording head is separated away from the support surface when sucking the ink inside the nozzle, moves the suction unit to a suction position facing the ink ejection surface, and causes the suction unit to be positioned below the recording head when wiping the ink ejection surface.
