ABSTRACT:
A maintenance mechanism includes: a carriage22capable of performing reciprocating movement along a line parallel to an ink discharging surface4a;and a purge sheet21attached to the carriage22and capable of being located, depending on the carriage22position, in a purge position opposing the ink discharging surface4aand a printing position not opposing the ink discharging surface4a.When being in the purge position, the purge sheet21has such a shape that allows ink discharged from the ink discharging surface4aand adhered to the purge sheet.21to move, owing to gravity, toward the center of the purge sheet21with respect to the width direction of the purge sheet21which is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the carriage22.
