PURPOSE:To rapidly perform the positioning of the tips of a recovery tubes and to prevent the scattering of the ink discharged from the recovery tubes by fixing a plurality of the recovery tubes by a tube fixing member consisting of groove parts, stepped parts and ink discharge parts. CONSTITUTION:Communication ports 61 are opened to the rubber cap 53 of a recovery pump 51 and recovery tubes 62 are connected to the communication ports 61. The recovery tubes 62 are inserted in first and second fixing grooves 63.65 so as to follow the U-shape cross section part 64 of the recovery pump 51 and led out to the lower part through the opening parts 60 of a recovery support plate 50. In this case, a tube fixing member 68 is provided to the gear support plate 66 fixed to the lower part of the recovery support plate 50 at the lower part of a third groove 67. The tube fixing member 68 is constituted of the groove parts 69 holding the recovery tubes 62, the stepped parts 70 against which the discharge ports 73 of the recovery tubes 62 are struck and ink discharge parts 72 guiding ink downwardly. |
