<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cap that has simplified structure, thereby achieving reduction in manufacturing cost thereof.SOLUTION: A cap 361 includes: a cap body 362 for capping an ink ejection port 326Ka of a nozzle head 326K; and atmosphere communication means for communicating an inner space S of the cap body with an atmosphere while the cap body caps the ink ejection port. The cap body is configured in such a way that the inner space communicates with the ink ejection port while capping the ink ejection port. The atmosphere communication means includes: a vent 364 formed integrally in the cap body 362; and a tube 366 that is connected to the vent and communicates the inner space of the cap body with an atmosphere. One end of the tube is force-fitted into and connected to the vent.</p> |
