PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely wipe off ink adhered to a head nozzle face by wiping and to suppress scattering of ink into an apparatus. SOLUTION: A cleaner member is set in which an ink absorber is stored and which has an ink scraping face for scraping the ink adhered to a wiper blade, and a plurality of slits penetrating an ink absorber magazine in the vicinity of the ink scraping face. The ink adhered to the wiper blade is surely scraped by the ink scraping face. The ink is guided by capillary forces of the slits to the inside ink absorber. The ink is thus prevented from scattering and is properly wiped at all times. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
