PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce required maintenance time by easily recovering and scrapping ink discharged onto a sheet. SOLUTION: In a sheet carrying mechanism 10, a carrying surface of a carrier belt 11 is displaced to a retracting position tilted to an ink discharge surface 4a of an inkjet head 1, when ink is purged from the head 1. Next, a purging sheet 21 is displaced to an ink accepting position being between the ink discharge surface 4a and the carrying surface, along the carrying surface. Ink discharged from the ink discharge surface 4a of the inkjet head 1 onto the purging sheet 21 flows down along the purging sheet 21. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
