ABSTRACT:
An ink jet recording apparatus has a cap that is movable between a capping position, in which it covers a discharge port of a recording head, and a release position, in which the cap is spaced from the recording head. A wiping member is movable between the recording head and the cap to wipe the recording head surface having the discharge port when the cap is in its release position. The wiping member is movable to a stored position to allow the cap to move to its capping position.
