An ink jet recording apparatus of the invention checks a nozzle contact status of the recording head, when a nozzle slip-out occurs. If the nozzle slip-out has occurred because the nozzle is choked up, then the nozzle is automatically cleaned up. Otherwise, such as if the nozzle slip-out is caused by the poor contact of the nozzle, then the ink cartridge moves to a replacing position to inform the user that the nozzle has the poor contact. Thus, the user can easily learn of the nozzle contact status and quickly take proper measures.
