In order to make maintenance of an ink jet printer less time-consuming, when ink is to be purged from ink jet heads 1 , a unit conveying mechanism 30 moves a feeding plane 11 a of a feeding sheet 11 to a retreated position that is inclined with respect to ink jet faces 4 a of the ink jet heads 1 . An ink receiving sheet 21 is then moved to an ink receiving position that is between the ink jet faces 4 a and the feeding plane 11 a and that extends along this feeding plane 11 a. Ink that is jetted onto the ink receiving sheet 21 from the ink jet faces 4 a of the ink jet heads 1 runs down the ink receiving sheet 21 , and is collected in an ink tank 72.
