An ink jet recording apparatus has a recording head for recording by ejecting ink onto a recording medium, a head recovery device that recovers a function of the recording head, a suction switch for operating the head recovery device, and a print instruction switch, and an inhibition device that inhibits operation of the head recovery device under a predetermined condition. When operation of the head recovery device is inhibited under a certain condition, the head recovery device cannot be operated if the suction switch is operated. The inhibition of head recovery operation is canceled when the suction switch and a print instruction switch are operated. The recording apparatus thereby prevents unintentional head recovery operation and prevents unnecessary ink consumption, without degrading the operability of the head recovery device.
