<p>An inkjet recording apparatus (1) includes: (a) a recording head (22, 23, 24, 25); (b) a cap (32, 33, 34, 35) movable along a movement path between an extracted position and a retracted position, such that the cap covers a nozzle-opening surface (22a, 23a, 24a, 25a) of the recording head, when being positioned in the extracted position, and such that cap is located in an adjacent space (S2, S3, S4, S5) adjacent to the recording head without covering the nozzle-opening surface, when being positioned in the retracted position; (c) a guide (42, 43, 44, 45) movable between a closing position and an opening position. The guide is closer to a sheet conveyance space (S1) than the cap positioned in the retracted position so as to guide the recording sheet to be conveyed through the sheet conveyance space and so as to close at least a part of the movement path of the cap, when being positioned in the closing position. The guide opens the movement path of the cap, when being positioned in the opening position. The guide is positioned in the opening position when the cap is moved between the extracted position and the retracted position, and is positioned in the closing position when the cap is positioned in the retracted position.</p> |
