A cap 41 is used for nozzle inspections for clogging on the basis of a waveform of an output signal at a print head 24 when, in a state in which a potential difference has been generated among the print head 24, a regulating member 143 that is the opposing electrode opposite to the print head 24, or an ink-absorbing member 142, an operation is performed of ejecting ink from the nozzles 23 of the print head 24 to an opposing electrode. The cap 41 comprises a box member 141 in which the regulating member 143 and the ink-absorbing member 142 are contained and an electrode pin 145 that penetrates the box member 141 in a liquid-tight manner, and that is electrically connected with the regulating member 143. Thus, even when ink accumulates in the box member 141 after a nozzle inspection for clogging has taken place, no ink will leak from the part that the electrode pin 145 penetrates.
