PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording device equipped with a highly durable printing head wiping/cleaning means of a space-saving simple structure in eliminating the clogging of a printing head and the recovery of a pressure loss state, and also, normalizing an operation by removing unnecessary ink adhering to the head. SOLUTION: This inkjet recording device is operated in the way a cap is tilted to a nozzle surface, and is supported with only part of the cap in contact with the nozzle surface. After these procedures, the nozzle surface is cleaned by relatively moving the printing head and the cap in parallel with the nozzle surface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
