PURPOSE:To certainly clean the front surface of an ink emitting orifice by a simple mechanism by cleaning the front surface of the ink emitting orifice by the movement of a carrier loaded with an ink emitting mechanism and providing a rotary cleaning mechanism. CONSTITUTION:When an ink jet head 1 moves from a home position A to a printing starting position B, the front surface of the ink jet head 1 moves while pushes projections 3a down and the projections 3a remove the adhered ink from the front surface of the ink jet head 1. Next, when the ink jet head 1 moves to the home position A, the ink jet head moves while catches one of the projections 3a because the projections 3a are inclined in the direction reverse to the moving direction of the ink jet head 1. Therefore, a cleaning belt 3 is rotated with the movement of the ink jet head 1. At this time, the ink adhered to the projections 3a is removed in the rear by an ink absorbing body 7 and certain cleaning can be kept. |
