An image recording device includes a recording head comprising a plurality of nozzles configured to dispense ink onto a recording medium when the recording medium is conveyed in a sub-scanning direction, and a carriage configured to reciprocate in a main scanning direction perpendicular to the sub-scanning direction, in which the recording head is positioned on the carriage and moves with the carriage. The image recording device also includes a cleaning unit positioned within the carriage. The cleaning unit is positioned at a more upstream side in the sub-scanning direction than the plurality of nozzles are positioned in the sub-scanning direction, and the cleaning unit includes a cleaning member. Moreover, the cleaning member is configured to move between a first position in which the cleaning member is in contact with a surface of the recording medium, and a second position in which the cleaning member is separated from the surface of the recording medium. |
