ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device for cleaning a printhead of an ink-jet printer. The cleaning device includes, a cleaning unit provided with a cleaning blade, and a traveling unit that carries the cleaning unit. The traveling unit reciprocates between first and second positions to perform a cleaning cycle of the printhead. The cleaning blade is held by the cleaning unit perpendicular to an ink ejecting surface of the printhead to clean the ink ejecting surface when the traveling unit moves in one direction. Further, The cleaning blade is inclined against the ink ejecting surface to avoid being rubbed against the ink ejecting surface when the traveling unit moves in an opposite direction.
