PURPOSE:To provide an ink-jet recording device which can maintain a function of an optical sensor detecting a width of recording paper and perform accurate and appropriate recording. CONSTITUTION:The ink-jet recording device performs recording by discharging ink to a recorded medium from recording heads 9A-9D, which is provided with a wiping mechanism 30 wiping nozzle surfaces of the recording heads 9A-9D and a paper width detecting sensor which is arranged on a carriage 6 moving the recording heads 9A-9D and detects optically a width of the recorded medium, a quantity of discharging ink is stored accumulatively in a data memory 23, when the quantity of the discharging ink stored accumulatively becomes at least a prescribed quantity, the carriage 6 and wiping mechanism 30 are controlled by a CPU 21, the surface of the paper width detecting sensor is wiped by the wiping mechanism 36 and dirt is removed. |
