PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely recover ink discharged from a plurality of inkjet heads at a discharging restoration for preventing nozzles or the like from being clogged with one discharge pump. SOLUTION: The ink discharged from four inkjet heads 13A-13D is received by four first waste liquid receivers 31A-31D and, after naturally falling through first discharge holes 54, it is stored in one second waste liquid receiver 32 so as to be collected to a waste liquid recovering container with the one discharge pump from a second discharge hole 60 through a discharge tube 33. As a first sealing member 55 is brought into close contact with a nozzle plane N by a compression spring 65 and the first discharge hole 54 are closed by second sealing members 64 when the second waste liquid receiver 32 is arranged in a cap position B, the first waste liquid receivers 31A-31D also act as a cap tightly closing nozzles n.
