SOLUTION: The inkjet printer is equipped with the carriage 21 which holds an ink cartridge, a guide shaft 4 which guides the carriage 21 penetrating the carriage 21 in the horizontal direction, an encoder strip 3 stretched in parallel to the guide shaft 4, a sensor 35 which is set at the carriage 21 and detects position information recorded in the encoder strip 3, and a guide rail 2a which guides an upper end part of the carriage 21 and extends in parallel to the guide shaft 4. The guide shaft 4 and the encoder strip 3 are set to have at least a part thereof positioned at the same height. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
