PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording device able to achieve efficient recording of a test pattern and inspection of an ink discharge state by a compact configuration of the device. SOLUTION: An inspecting conveyance section 7 is disposed in an inspecting area adjacent to a conveyance section 3 which conveys a recording medium. The inspecting conveyance section 7 conveys the inspecting recording sheet 70 in the same direction as a recording medium at the same conveying speed as that for the recording medium. To inspect an discharge state, a recording head 2 is positioned in the inspecting area, and a test pattern is disposed opposite the inspecting recording sheet 70 and recorded thereon. The recorded test pattern is read by moving a reading head for scanning. Based on the read image data, the ink discharge state is determined. If the discharge state is abnormal, an discharge ink processing section is moved to an inspecting area to recover the discharge. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
