The wiping mechanism of a recording head has a wiper and driving mechanism. The driving mechanism moves the wiper bidirectionally along an ink ejection surface and raises and lowers the wiper toward and away from the ink ejection surface. After the top of the wiper passes through a nozzle area, which is part of the ink ejection surface, on which the ejection nozzles are open, and before the top of the wiper passes through the edge of the ink ejection surface on the downstream side in the wiping direction, the driving mechanism moves the wiper away from the ink ejection surface with the top of the wiper in contact with the ink ejection surface.
