ABSTRACT:
A carriage is automatically and accurately stopped at a wiping position, so that a nozzle surface of a recording head is accurately wiped clean independently of the accuracy of the stop position of the carriage. An inkjet recording apparatus includes a wiping member for wiping clean a nozzle surface of the recording head and a carriage position control member which defines a movement range of the carriage by abutting the carriage on the carriage position control member. The wiping member wipes clean the nozzle surface while the carriage is caused to abut on the carriage position control member (that is, while a carriage motor causes the carriage to abut on the carriage position control member).
